Introducing Dwain McDonald
Hey Everyone,
We’re excited to announce that born and bred Stokey Dwain McDonald has joined us as the new executive lead for Made in Stoke. With his deep connection to Stoke and wealth of experience from his long career in logistics and parcels with DPD, Dwain is set to bring a new level of expertise to our project. He’s excited to share his knowledge and help us grow. Dwain says,
“After one short meeting with Nicky (Twemlow), I knew I had to join her team and help with some of the amazing ideas Made in Stoke has been cultivating. I wanted to start by expressing our vision in one document, and I think we have a clear and concise vision.
What we are about now is making a difference, and we will update everyone regularly on the impact. I would love to hear from anyone who wants to join the gang and make a difference."
