The iNetwork team has seen some significant changes recently, and we would like to provide an update for our members on these exciting developments.
First and foremost, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks and best wishes to Hannah Gains, who has played a vital role as Stakeholder Engagement Manager for the Connected Procurement & Commissioning (CPC) programme. As she embarks on a new adventure in Australia, we wish her all the luck in the world.


Taking the helm of the CPC programme is Billy Smith, who many of you may already know from his role as the Stakeholder Engagement Manager for the Effective Information Sharing & Security (EISS) programme. In his new position, Billy will focus on organising activities that support our network of procurement practitioners, commissioners, and contract managers, while delivering on the strategic priorities set by the CPC network leadership group, chaired by Peter Schofield from Manchester City Council. If you have any questions about the CPC programme, Billy is your go-to person and you can contact him here.
We also want to bid farewell to Joe Nuttall, who has been an invaluable Project Support Administrator covering for Karys Thompson during her maternity leave. Joe has provided tremendous support in organising and facilitating our events across all three programme areas: Transforming and Innovating Public Services, Connected Procurement and Commissioning, and Effective Information Sharing and Security. We wish Joe the very best in his future endeavours.


On a brighter note, we’re excited to welcome Karys Thompson back as our Project Support Administrator! We encourage everyone to reach out and help her settle back into the role. If you have any inquiries, Karys is more than happy to assist and you can contact her here.
Thanks for staying engaged with the iNetwork, and here’s to the continued success of our collaborative efforts!
