The new head of an organisation dedicated to a better cross-sector understanding between the public and private sector has been named.
Mark Gibson, director-general of the enterprise and business group at the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, will take over from Sally Cantello as chief executive of the Whitehall and Industry Group in early 2009.
WIG is a membership organisation that aims to help company executives and senior civil servants share skills, knowledge and experience.
Gibson said: 'In challenging and helping break down traditional barriers between public and private sectors, WIG plays a vital role in supporting British industry.'
