The ESSENCE team

ESSENCE of Exeter CIC incorporated in March 2018 as a Community Interest Company. Our articles of association can be found through the Companies House website. Our organisation has a Board of Directors that is responsible for the daily running of the network. The Company members have the right to vote and influence the direction of the company.

Currently, the Board of Directors consists of:
Jonathan Parsons, Chime Social Enterprise (Chair)
Ruth Dale, Social Insights Ltd
Amerie Rose, Act Together
Paul White, eCulture Solutions

We would like to thank many people who have been important to bringing ESSENCE to its current shape, amongst others: Mark Hodgson, Charlotte Burrows, Dawn Eckhart, Sarah Bailey, Ashley Perryman, Richard Burns and Sara Burgess.

As part of the ambition to create a self-sustained network, Daphne van Run has been appointed as Network Lead since October 2017. She takes care of the daily operations of ESSENCE and reports to the Board of Directors.
