NEW BOSS AT NATIONAL MOTOR MUSEUM
The National Motor Museum Trust has appointed a new Chief Executive to lead it on the next step of its journey, ready for the 50th anniversary of the world-famous museum in 2022.
Museum professional and car enthusiast Dr Jon Murden, currently Executive Director of Dorset Museum, will be joining the National Motor Museum Trust to ensure its long-term sustainability as it looks towards its next half-century.
Jon spends much of his spare time running, maintaining and restoring his small collection of classic cars, which includes a 1957 Hillman Minx, 1977 MG Midget and 1978 Austin Allegro.
