Victoria Hurdley—CILEx

New director of development appointed

Victoria Hurdley has been named as the new director of development for the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx). She will take up the post on Monday, 20 April.

Victoria’s role, which is new to CILEx, will be responsible for expanding membership of the Chartered Legal Executive profession and particularly for promoting practice rights and entity regulation opportunities to CILEx members and the wider legal community.

Victoria joins CILEx from North Hertfordshire College where, as commercial director, her role focused on working with employers and developing innovative solutions for the recruitment, training and development of teams across a variety of sectors.

She says: “I am joining CILEx at an exciting time for both the organisation and the sector, especially with the recent approval of independent practice rights and the mounting interest in the opportunities for businesses to be regulated through CILEx Regulation. 

“I am looking forward to working with CILEx members and colleagues to promote the benefits of these new rights and to support the development of businesses within the sector.”
