HBRC’s Interim Chief Executive Liz Lambert had her annual performance review today, which has resulted in a 2.6% salary increase. Council considered feedback from elected members, second tier managers and external stakeholders in arriving at its view that the Interim Chief Executive has performed fully effectively or better in her role. The 2.6% pay rise reflects the market movement advised by Strategic Pay, taking into account movement in chief executive pay inside and outside local government.
