“The College undertook a robust selection process and were fortunate to attract a number of high quality candidates, but the Corporation were unanimous in its view that Dexter is a very experienced leader with a proven track record in education and is the ideal person to take the college forward.

“The college also owes a debt of gratitude to Steve who has led BMet through a period of significant change and has ensured the college has maintained good relationships with partners and within the city region.”

Dexter said: “I am very excited about leading the board at BMet. I think the college is doing many good things and has huge potential. It will be my job working with partners and colleagues to ensure that BMet’s potential is fulfilled.”
