For the past 15 years Sue has worked within the arts and charity sector, with Bluecoat and FACT in Liverpool and the Big Life Group in Manchester.
Sue said:
“Autism Together is a wonderful organisation with talented, passionate and dedicated staff making a huge difference to the lives of the people we support.
“I am excited and proud to have the opportunity to lead the organisation through the next phase of its development.”
