From Centre Assistant to CEO

Malcolm McLean joined CORNWALL COUNTY PLAYING FIELDS ASSOCIATION in 1999 as a Centre Assistant at Carroty Wood, Tonbridge during a Gap Year!  Twenty two years later, he is the Chief Executive Officer of the whole organisation.

After being at Carroty Wood for a few years, he then became our youngest ever Centre Director.  He held this post for 18 years before being appointed as Sales and Operations Director across the whole organisation. During this time, he also ably covered the role of CEO between appointments.

In April 2020, Malcolm was offered and accepted the post of Chief Executive on a permanent basis.

He said: “I never imagined some 20 years ago that I would one day be Chief Executive. I am delighted and honoured to have the opportunity to lead such a great staff team. We are living in unprecedented times and the Leadership team are working hard behind the scenes to ensure we can come back stronger and ready to celebrate our centenary. I’d like to thank all our staff and valued customers for their support.”
