Seems it's true, check out the OS web site..................
Change of leadership at Ordnance
Survey
David Willey has taken over chief executive responsibilities at Ordnance
Survey
following the decision of Dr Geoff Robinson to step down.
David Willey said "Geoff Robinson has made a tremendous contribution to
defining the future role
of Ordnance Survey. In presenting his paper 'Joined up Geography' to the
AGI conference last
month he also set out his vision of an Ordnance Survey working with
partners to deliver the benefits
of consistent and accurate geographic data for the good of the Nation.
This met with the widespread approval of all parts of the industry both
public and private. The
Ordnance Survey Board of Directors will continue to drive forward this new
business direction."
Doesn't say why though!!
