Canine Partners Announces New Chief Executive

 

Canine Partners (Registered Charity No. 803680) today announces that Terry Knott is stepping down at the end of September as Chief Executive, after 7 years at the helm. He is to be replaced by Andy Cook.

During his time as Chief Executive, Terry has made a tremendous contribution to the ongoing success of Canine Partners.  Over the past 7 years, the charity has tripled its output of highly skilled assistance dogs, establishing its National Training Centre at Midhurst in West Sussex and a network of active satellites across Great Britain, including development into Scotland.  

Says Terry Knott “For the past seven years I have had one of the best jobs in the world. It has been a joy and a privilege to work for Canine Partners with such a dedicated team, but now is the time to move on and allow my successors to carry forward the banner. The charity has a very bright future”.

Andy Cook is widely known and respected throughout the assistance dog world and brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm, which has already benefited the Charity, since his appointment as Director of Operations in 2006.

Chairman of Trustees, Simon Clare comments, “We pay tribute for the tremendous contribution that Terry Knott has made to Canine Partners.  He has dedicated his time and energy into helping move the charity forward and we wish him all the best in his retirement. At the same time, we are delighted that Andy Cook will be taking up the role of Chief Executive and we look forward to an exciting new chapter in the development of Canine Partners.”
