Welcome to our new managers!

We welcome Mike and Emma Rutter who replaced Geoff and Patsy Wooles as managers of the Nyika Vwaza Trust in Malawi.

In the UK Mike worked as a Chartered Building Surveyor being one of four partners in a medium sized mixed practice involved in construction and project management. They employed various Architects, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors based in the SW of England before he left to become self-employed about 5 years ago. His experience is with a wide range of construction projects from social housing to royal palaces, hotels and prisons and lots more besides. In the UK Mike and Emma live in a quiet part of Devon not far from Harry Foot as well as close to the Grimshaws  (former UK Trustees) – small world as they say. They run a smallholding using a variety of ancient tractors and machinery, keep various animals grow veg etc – all good experience which will come in useful working for NVT.

Mike and Emma are acting as interim managers until the end of September and we wish them well in this challenging role.
