Tom cruises in to Lord North Street
Tuesday, October 17, 2023 at 13:15 I’m a little late to this but congratulations to Tom Clougherty who, it was announced on Friday, has won the race to be the new director-general of the Institute of Economic Affairs.
Tom will take over from Mark Littlewood who announced in August that he was stepping down after 14 years.
If you’re unfamiliar with the name, Tom’s think tank pedigree is pretty impressive. A former executive director of the Adam Smith Institute, he subsequently spent several years in America working for the Reason Foundation and the Cato Institute, before returning to the UK to work for the Centre for Policy Studies.
He starts his new job at 2 Lord North Street in December, I believe, and I wish him well.
