NORFOLK has a new chief fire officer following the appointment of Nigel Williams.
Mr Williams, who joins from Dorset Fire and Rescue Service, where he was deputy chief fire officer, will take up his position in early August, replacing Richard Elliott who retired in March of this year.
Nigel's fire service career has spanned 25 years and three fire and rescue services - West Yorkshire, Suffolk and most recently Dorset.
He has been operational in all his roles, whilst he also spent a three year spell as a lecturer at the National Fire Training College in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire.
