The Wheel is Recruiting a CEO

Posted on 30 Jan 2026

The Wheel is recruiting a new CEO following Barry Dempsey's announcement that he will be stepping down from the role in April for personal reasons.

Since joining us last September, Barry has overseen the expansion of The Wheel and a move to new premises. Chairperson of The Wheel, Dr Inez Bailey, thanked Barry for his contribution: "The Board and his colleagues greatly enjoyed working with him and, whilst we will miss him, we fully understand and support his difficult decision to resign at this time." 

Principal Connections has been engaged, and a recruitment campaign for a new CEO has commenced.
