She oversaw the re-opening of the castle's £30m regenaration
The former Chief Executive of Nottingham Castle has secured a new position at another heritage site. Sara Blair-Manning has been appointed as chief executive at Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
The former executive has now joined the grade II* listed Gardens in Edgbaston with 27 years’ experience in the cultural and charitable sectors. While CEO with The John Clare Trust, she worked with Gardeners’ World presenter Adam Frost and sponsors Lands’ End to create The Rural Muse garden, which won gold at RHS Chelsea in 2012.
Her appointment comes months after the Gardens appointed Rebecca Steen as operations director, while last year also saw former BBC Midlands Today news presenter and experienced board member Sue Beardsmore being appointed chair of the trustees. Eight new trustees also joined the charity.
