As I hand over the role of Chair to my fellow trustee Philip Whalley and return to the back benches as trustee, it seems like a good time to reflect on the past 3 years working alongside Marianna and her small band of dedicated staff members. I can say with all honesty that in my 30 years as an arts professional, I have rarely encountered such a combination of creative vision and entrepreneurial acumen in one person as I have seen in Marianna.
