Curious Minds appoints Chris Finn as Acting Chief Executive

Following the tragic death of Chris May at the end of April, Curious Minds' Board of Trustees have appointed Chris Finn as our Acting Chief Executive.

Chris first connected with the Creative Partnerships programme in 2005 as a Creative Programmer for Creative Partnerships Manchester Salford, before becoming Director of Creative Partnerships Merseyside in 2007. In 2009, Creative Partnerships Lancashire and Creative Partnerships Merseyside merged to form Curious Minds, where Chris has been a Director of Programmes with an increasing focus on business development. 

 Previous to this Chris graduated from university with a degree in producing documentaries, Chris wrote and directed a number of independent films and plays before joining the Yorkshire Media Production Agency (a regional funding and development agency) in 2000. In 2002, he joined Oldham's Peshkar Productions, facilitating first opportunities in the performing arts for disadvantaged young people. 

Curious Minds' Board of Trustees is currently putting in place a robust recruitment process for a permanent Chief Executive. Details will be announced shortly.
