Reading Borough Council are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Brittas as Chief Executive to the Council. Mr. Brittas has had extensive experience running Crawley Leisure Centre and is looking forward to the challenge of running RBC.

He told the interview panel that he has a dream, a grand dream, to bring the townspeople together in peace and harmony through sport. In order to achieve this dream he has worked his way through the ranks of leisure centre officialdom, reaching the level of leisure centre manager, head of Culture and Sport at Maidenhead and Windsor, until finally becoming Chief Executive of Reading.

He first announcement after securing the job was a change to the Town's motto to "Semper, Omnibus, Facultas". When we asked him of his plans to improve the image of Reading Borough Council as a place that doesn't listen to local residents he told us: "I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave. If you want to make a complaint Julie can give you a form and you can post it in the box in reception."
