Mayor means business

摘要

Ros Jones, Doncaster's third directly-elected mayor, personifies the no-nonsense, can-do attitude of the borough in which she was born and bred. 'This is a place where we don't just talk about things, we get them done,' explained the former accountant, in the wake of a recent survey by fDi Intelligence Magazine that placed Doncaster among the top 10 European cities of the future for foreign direct investment. She and Jo Miller, ex-deputy chief executive of the Local Government Association and a lawyer by training, form the only all-female mayor and chief executive leadership partnership in the country. 'Working as a team with the cabinet and the rest of the authority, we are dedicated to tackling problems where they exist, exploiting opportunities to the maximum and playing to our strengths in order to make Doncaster a truly great place to live, learn, work, invest in and do business from,' said the Labour directly-elected mayor.
