New CEO for Aerospace Bristol
Aerospace Bristol has a new captain at the controls. Sally Cordwell becomes only the museum’s second ever CEO, replacing Lloyd Burnell in the cockpit.
Quickly establishing itself as one of Bristol’s most popular visitor attractions, the museum hosts school trips and events, with Concorde as its star attraction.
Cordwell will bring significant experience of senior leadership roles in visitor attractions and culture venues in Bristol and the South West, including as interim executive director at Bristol Old Vic Theatre and as deputy CEO at the SS Great Britain Trust.
“I’m thrilled to join Aerospace Bristol as its new CEO at this exciting time, as the museum celebrates its fifth anniversary year and, following a hugely challenging period, once again looks ahead with optimism and enthusiasm,” Cordwell said.
“Bristol’s world-class aerospace heritage – and the unique collection of objects and exhibitions on display at Aerospace Bristol – presents us with so many opportunities to share remarkable stories, celebrate our local history, preserve Bristol’s aerospace heritage and inspire future generations.”
