Hackney LBC chief executive
Tim Shields is to retire at the end of May after more than 40 years working in local government.
An accountant by background, Mr Shields joined Hackney in 2002 as corporate director of finance and resources and has been chief executive since 2007. Prior to joining Hackney he held roles at Wandsworth and Lambeth LBCs as well as Epsom & Ewell BC.
During his time at Hackney, the council has moved from being one of the most poorly performing in the country to one of the best and was voted LGC’s Council of the Past 20 years in 2016.
Recruitment for Mr Shields successor will begin soon.
