Blackmore replaces Mark Nevin at FODO

FODO has appointed Ann Blackmore as its new head of policy and strategy following the departure of Mark Nevin from the role.

Blackmore (pictured), former head of media and public affairs at the Electoral Commission, will also be working for Optical Confederation partners the ACLM and the FMO and supported by new FODO policy officer Jakob Stenkvist.

She said: ‘The FODO job excited me as soon as I saw it. The big attraction is trying to improve things for the sector as a whole, working in partnership within the Optical Confederation, in particular across eye health and in Europe.’
