As of 31 December 2025, there will be changes to the Board of Directors at PCA. Josephine Brown shall be stepping down from her role as Managing Director and retiring from PCA. Gary Brown will at the same time be retiring from PCA and from the Board. It is their intention that the company continues to operate after their departure, with as little change as possible for staff and clients.
The other board directors, will, as of 31 December 2025, be taking over management of the company, to provide seamless continuity. Chris Mayo will be the new Managing Director of PCA, with Peter Moore, Vicki Ridgeway and Mark Hinman continuing as Directors.
In the new board, with Chris as MD, Peter will continue to lead fieldwork projects and provide advice in all areas of operations across the company, drawing on his extensive experience as the remaining director from the first incarnation of PCA Ltd. Vicki will remain Company Secretary and maintain her role as Head of Post-excavation, continuing to build on PCA’s reputation and capability across this significant area of our operations. Mark will take on a new role as Chief Executive Officer, with a remit to develop the company’s ability to deliver projects at scale and new opportunities for the company, building and solidifying our position within the sector and amongst its peers, in addition to continuing his H&S responsibilities. Chris will take over all the roles currently undertaken by Josephine, including heading up the Board of Directors, to ensure that the company continues to be resilient and respected as a prominent player in the UK’s commercial archaeology sector.
The new Board is keen to build on and continue the success and growth of the last 32 years. There will be no change to the way the company is structured and run, and there will be no changes to the range of services provided. PCA will continue to provide the same high standard archaeological services to all our clients and their agents and consultants.
