In March this year Tracy Stringfellow is to take over as CEO of charity Heritage Lincolnshire.
She said: “I am grateful to the trustees and the team at Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust for the opportunity to be part of the work we have achieved over the last ten years. I am excited to be returning to my home county in the spring, to a charity at the forefront of championing Lincolnshire’s rich and diverse heritage.”
Charles Pinchbeck, Chair of the Board of Trustees, said, “The Trust are delighted that Tracy will be joining us. Her track record at Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust speaks for itself and she comes to us with glowing recommendations from former colleagues and partner organisations. With Tracy’s extensive experience and passion for her native county we look forward to progressing our vital work caring for Lincolnshire’s unique heritage.”
Tracy’s background is in the heritage sector, having worked for Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust for the last eight years and previously for the Royal Borough of Greenwich. She began her career as Museums and Local Heritage Manager for North East Lincolnshire Council and she was born and raised in Grimsby. As well as her extensive experience of working on major projects in the heritage sector, Tracy has acted as Chair of WSUP, the Woolwich Service Users Project, a charity which provides practical and emotional support to those seeking help in the local community.
Tracy replaces Greg Pickup, who was at the Trust for nearly three years and was successful in bids for Greyfriars in Lincoln, the Towns Fund in Boston, Skegness and Mablethorpe, and a number of other ongoing projects. Since his departure at the beginning of September 2022 to become CEO of the national Churches Conservation Trust, the Trust has been kept on the straight and narrow by Stephen Roe as its Interim CEO and Simon Johnson whose services are provided on a consultancy basis by Welton House Ltd.
