As expected, former Hackney LBC chief executive Max Caller will lead the Government’s intervention team in the city.

The other commissioners are:

  • Bexley LBC chief executive Jackie Belton
  • Former Hampshire CC chief executive, John Coughlin
  • Former director of corporate resources at Leicestershire CC, Chris Tambini
  • Director for people and transformation at Essex CC, Pam Parkes
  • The Cabinet Office’s Crown Representative for Oracle, IBM and Microsoft, Myron Hrycyk

Birmingham’s politicians will also be supported by Peer and former Labour defence and business secretary Lord John Hutton and former Tower Hamlets LBC mayor John Biggs.
