Council Worker Appointed to Lead Innovation Hub in Converted Toilets
The Spindleberry Centre for Disruptive Excellence has just opened its doors.
A long-serving council worker has been appointed Head of Innovation at a newly established 'innovation hub', in what officials are calling “a bold step into the unknown.”
The innovation hub, situated in refurbished lavatories on the corner of Spindleberry common has been rebranded “The Spindleberry Centre for Disruptive Excellence” and features a state-of-the-art beanbag zone, a broken 3D printer, and inspirational quotes printed on the remaining intact urinal dividers.
The newly appointed head of innovation Peter Sevenacre, who has spent the last 23 years in various administrative roles since graduating with a BA in English Literature, is said to bring a “wealth of institutional knowledge” to the role; chiefly his ability to operate the office photocopier without supervision.
Speaking after his appointment, Mr Sevenacre said:
“I am thrilled to lead the innovation team and oversee the distribution of public funding to the most promising, disruptive ideas. Naturally, having no background in science, technology, or innovation, I will be awarding the majority of grants to close personal friends and companies in which we already have financial stakes. I believe this is the most efficient way to ensure rapid and unaccountable progress.”
Sources close to the council praised Peter’s “forward-thinking” approach, noting that he once suggested moving the biscuit tin closer to the kettle to save time
