Interim Grand Secretary – designate, is announced

Following the retirement of Nigel Brown as Grand Secretary at the end of April, the Grand Master has been pleased to make an interim appointment to that office.

RW Bro Willie Shackell CBE, PJGW – Interim Grand Secretary – designate

Bro Willie Shackell CBE, PJGW – Interim Grand Secretary – designate

Brigadier W E Shackell CBE PJGW, will take up the appointment with effect from Wednesday 8 June, and will be invested as Grand Secretary in the course of the Quarterly Communication of the Grand Lodge on that day.

The Rulers and the Board of General Purposes believe that the process of finding a long-term successor as Grand Secretary should not be hurried, and recruitment is therefore unlikely to begin for some months.

In the meantime, I am sure that you would all wish to join in wishing Bro Shackell well in his new role.

Anthony Wilson

President, Board of General Purposes
