A Fine Farewell for Sir Ewan Harper
30th June 2011 will see the retirement of Sir Ewan Harper MA CBE, following 21 years as Chief Executive of United Church Schools Trust and United Learning Trust.
Following a very close relationship with Sir Ewan during his tenure, Synergy hosted a dinner on 5th May for Sir Ewan to mark his achievements in Education. The dinner was attended by colleagues and professionals from the construction industry, who have worked on over £500million of school projects during Sir Ewan’s time as Chief Executive.
We will be sad to see him go, having delivered exceptional Academies with Sir Ewan over the last 14 years, but wish him a very well deserved long and happy retirement and our best wishes on his future endeavours.
