Cranbrook School proudly celebrates the appointment of OC, William May (Cornwallis, 1995-1998), as the new Chief Operating Officer of Tonbridge School. Will takes over from interim Bursar Susan Meikle, poised to lead the daily management and strategic financial operations in collaboration with Jane Fentiman, the newly-appointed Finance Director.

With a rich background that includes serving as Commercial Director at the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury, and a tenure in Kenya as Head of Procurement for an oil company, Will brings a wealth of experience to his new role.

Headmaster James Priory of Tonbridge has expressed enthusiasm for Will's strategic acumen and creative energy.

We are thrilled to see a former student ascend to such a prestigious position and eagerly anticipate his contributions to the Tonbridge community. Congratulations Will!
