Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has made two key leadership hires following a rigorous national recruitment process.  

Lorna Rogers has been appointed as director of transformation and digital while Andy King has been appointed as director of clean energy and net zero.

Rogers has almost 30 years’ experience in both public and private sectors and is a prominent UK leader in major programme delivery.

She has worked for the Combined Authority since 2018 and created the award-winning £30m LCR Connect full fibre programme.

King’s role will include leading the development of the Mersey Tidal Power Project.

Rogers said: “My focus will be on modernising our business systems so we can work more efficiently, support the delivery of the growth plan, and better serve our communities.

“As we build our capability in data and AI, I’m committed to an ‘AI for good’ approach – using technology responsibly, ethically and transparently to improve outcomes for people, place and the public sector workforce.”
