A ward and was short listed for the Stirling Prize for the work of its architect David
Chipperfield - also project architect for Margate's Turner Contemporary. More recently
Jonathan project directed Birmingham's Thinktank Science Centre and for the last five
years has been member of British Waterways' senior management team. He is also an
active volunteer in the cultural & heritage sector and has served as chairman of the
Association of Independent Museums, trustee and chairman of Dundee's contemporary
art gallery, trustee of Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust and, currently, chairman of
Watermen's Hall Preservation Trust in London. He has one daughter aged six and is a
keen cinema goer, walker and motorcyclist.
He has a reputation for action and for successfully bringing forward first-class
heritage attractions delivered with commercial and creative flair. With Jonathan's
excellent track record, I am sure that we will be able to deliver a Dreamland that we can
be proud of. Jonathan joins The Dreamland Trust in January 2010. The Trust has also
appointed Jan Leandro as Audience Development Officer and Graham Ward as Project
Archivist, both of whom also start in January 2010.
