The Labour Party has this afternoon confirmed the appointment of the seventh and final Executive Director. John McCaffrey has been appointed the party’s Commercial Director, and will begin work on August 1st.
According to an internal party email seen by LabourList:
“John McCaffrey is a leading international fundraiser with years of experience which will be of enormous benefit to the Party. He has worked widely raising very substantial funds across the education, arts and museums sector in the UK and the US.”
He’ll certainly be kept busy – the other 6 Executive Directors have been in post for over 4 months now, so he has some catching up to do.
