Pippa's Podcasts
Argyll and Bute Council is full of great people, working very hard every day for our communities. As the council’s Chief Executive I have the privilege of speaking with employees from across the full range of our services.
To help keep our employees up-to-date with the work of the council, and to make visible some of the efforts that often go unnoticed, I would like to share with you conversations I am having with different people about different aspects of the council.
Thank you to all our hard working employees for the difference you are making for Argyll and Bute.
Pippa Milne, Chief Executive
