Labour Party’s Executive Director for Members moves on

An email went out to all Labour Party staff this morning from General Secretary Iain McNicol announcing that one of the party’s Executive Directors – Olly Buston – is moving on. The email said:

“Olly Buston, our Executive Director for Members and Supporters, is moving on from the party to pursue an exciting new challenge elsewhere.  I want to thank Olly for the major contribution he has made to the Party.  When he arrived membership was declining, it is now increasing at a healthy rate. He has also led a process of transformation of our digital work; driving big improvements in social media content and reach; and helping to professionalise our approach to online fundraising.  Olly has also been a champion of bringing in external digital expertise, and argued from day one for the need for a greater investment in digital and for a more crosscutting approach.”

Best of luck to Olly in his future endeavours
