THERE has been a change in command at Redditch and Bromsgrove Sea Cadet Unit.
After five years of leading the young people, Lieutenant Joe Utting has been succeeded in the role of Unit Commanding Officer by Petty Officer Nick Plumley.
Mr Utting said: “I am very proud and honoured to have been in command of such a successful unit over the past five years, and I would like to thank all the staff and cadets for making my time at T.S. Kingfisher so enjoyable.”
Mr Utting will now be moving to a district role, and taking over the deputy district officer’s position from April. The Redditch and Bromsgrove unit has wished him all the best in his new position.
