Nantwich Museum has appointed Dr Trevor Evans, a former chemical engineer, as the new chair of the Board of Trustees responsible for running the facility in Pillory Street.
During his career, Dr Evans has managed professional bodies in both the UK and Australia.
He has a keen interest in local and architectural history, and on retirement enrolled in Liverpool University’s History Department, where he was awarded an MA (with Distinction) in Slavery Studies.
He also took up a position as a Visiting Professor at University College, London in Chemical Engineering.
This enabled consideration of the interface between history and technology, in connection with both sugar slavery and the WW1 munitions industry.
Dr Evans said: “I hope that my skillset may be relevant to helping the museum thrive and prosper.
“One of the key roles of any charity in UK law is to inspire the volunteer.”
Nantwich Museum is an independent charitable trust run by its Members and a small staff, and is financed by donations, sponsorship, commercial activities, and various grants.
