Mark said: “It’s such a privilege to be taking on this role, especially as DSN reaches its 45th anniversary next year and enters a new chapter in its history.

“I am honoured to work with such a fantastic team, and particularly proud of the reputation DSN has in our local community.

“It’s been a challenging time operating over the last seven months, as our staff had to adapt quickly whilst continuing to provide specialist, personalised care to our service users and tenants throughout the pandemic.

“I’m so proud that our teams have embraced the challenges that have come their way and have proactively sought solutions that mean those with a sensory loss are not overlooked.

“The needs of our clients, their families and carers are at the heart of everything DSN does and that is so important to me.

“I am really looking forward to leading the organisation through this next exciting chapter.”

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
