Louise was integral to forming the charitable Trust which runs the venue and all our work as our first CEO; she has led us through a once-in-a-generation transformation, name-change, pandemic and incredible rebirth as Bristol Beacon.
Some of the staff have a few messages for our wonderful Chief Executive…
