Start date: April 2024

Previous Job: Principal & Chief Executive, Northern College

Interesting fact: Yultan loves 6.30am circuit classes at the gym so much that even though she though she’d retired last year she continued going along. Now she’s back to work she doesn’t need to build back up to those early mornings!


Danny Metters

Principal and CEO, Bishop Burton College

Start date: August 2024

Previous Job: Principal, East Riding College and Scarborough TEC College

Interesting fact: Danny’s career in animal welfare and education began when, aged 16, he rescued 96 ferrets.
