Dylan Williams was unanimously appointed as Anglesey’s new chief executive at a meeting of the Full Council today (21 December). He will succeed Annwen Morgan, who retires in March.

A native of Anglesey, he joined the Council in 1996, and took up the role of deputy chief executive in October 2019.

Dylan Williams said, “I’m proud to be appointed and look forward to taking up my new role in March, despite the ongoing challenges and uncertainties. In the meantime, I will continue to work alongside Annwen, colleagues and partners to maintain services and to protect the health and well-being of the island's residents.”

Council Leader, Councillor Llinos Medi, added, “I’d like to congratulate Dylan on his appointment. He has worked closely with Annwen during the pandemic, and together they have proved a hardworking and effective partnership. I would also like to thank Annwen for her service as outgoing chief executive and wish her well when she retires in the new year.”
