A word from Fiona
‘I am very pleased to have been appointed to the position of GM.  I am hopeful that my previous positions in government in the disability, justice and mental health sectors alongside my recent international consulting role will bring a relevant set of experiences to help take Bowden forward in its service offerings.  The Managers and staff of UCW Bowden are a very committed group who work diligently to deliver quality services to clients!  I am very much looking forward to working closely with them to continue to enhance our programmes areas and to ensure that our services reflect best practice and the most efficient and effective use of funds and resources that are available to us.’
