The new Managing Director of LiveWire and Culture Warrington has spoken about her plans to shape the leisure and cultural offer in Warrington.

36-year-old Emma Hutchinson took up the post this week following the retirement of Jan Souness, who led the companies from their formation in 2012.

She said: “I am very excited and immensely proud to be taking on this role which will lead both companies through their new business plans.

“LiveWire and Culture Warrington have made a huge difference to the people of Warrington over the last four years and have put the town on the map in terms of its leisure and cultural offerings.

“I look forward to building on the great work carried out by Jan Souness and embracing exciting new opportunities that lie ahead.”

Emma brings with her a wealth of experience in the two sectors and both companies. She held the post of Cultural Director at Culture Warrington during most of 2015 and has also played an integral part in the development of the two companies.
