John Turnbull elected president of the SLT

The Society of London Treasurers (SLT) has confirmed that John Turnbull, strategic director of finance and governance at Waltham Forest Council, has been elected as the next SLT president.

Turnbull succeeds Peter Turner, finance director at Bromley Council, who has taken on the role of honorary secretary/treasurer. SLT vice president is Clive Palfreyman, executive director of finance and corporate services at Hounslow Council.

“It is an honour to be president of society that works so hard for London and local government generally so that finance departments can contribute to making a difference for our residents,” Turnbull told Room151.

“Every year brings a new challenge and it is clear that this year it will be how we can help address the cost-of-living crisis for residents and the impact of inflation on the finances of our councils.”
