Andrew Kerr leaves after only 18 months.

On Tuesday, members of Wiltshire Council agreed to remove the post of chief executive. Andrew Kerr’s application for voluntary redundancy was considered and agreed. The terms of his dismissal and redundancy were approved in line with the council’s redundancy policy.

Members also agreed to appoint the service director for human resources, Barry Pirie, as the head of paid service and to appoint corporate director, Carlton Brand, as the council’s returning officer.

The terms of Andrew Kerr’s redundancy were not disclosed as this is personal information and due to data protection cannot be published at this time without Andrew’s consent. However, the information will be made public when the council’s end of year accounts are published next June.
