Dr Nick Winterbotham – brief biography

Since 1989, I have worked at CEO level in museums and in other arts, science & heritage institutions: 

• Director, Tullie House, Carlisle
• Director, Eureka! the National Children's Museum, Halifax
• Deputy Head, The National Railway Museum, York
• Head, Arts and Heritage, Leeds City Council
• CEO, Thinktank Science Museum, Birmingham
• CEO, Millennium Point, Birmingham
• Director, Museum of East Anglian Life, Stowmarket
• Director, Roald Dahl Museum, Gt Missenden

I now support science, heritage, arts and learning teams in a variety of different roles, particularly in Wales and East Anglia.  I have chaired charity teams as diverse as the Association for Science and Discovery Centres, the Group for Education in Museums, the RNLI Heritage Committee and the Learning and Heritage teams at the National Holocaust Centre & Museum.

My enthusiasm is always for creating strategic and practical solutions for teams, boards and individuals; and, where problems persist, I offer my experience and a fresh pair of eyes and ears to resolve them.

Over the past 35 years, I have worked in local authorities, schools, charities, universities, third sector arts organisations and the National Health Service.

• the Association of Independent Museums
• the Science and Technology Facilities Council
• the Heritage Lottery Fund
• the Arts Council of England 
• the Black Country Living Museum 
• ICOM-CECA Armenia
• the Wellcome Foundation
