NATIONAL MOTOR MUSEUM| CHIEF EXECUTIVE
SB
Introduction
The mission of the National Motor Museum Trust (NMMT) is to engage and inspire people with the story of
motoring through world-class collections. The Trust is committed to promoting education, research and
conservation in motoring history for the benefit of everyone. The award-winning National Motor Museum
(NMM) is the UK’s first major museum dedicated to motoring and opened to acclaim in 1972 with the 3rd
Baron Montagu of Beaulieu as a founding Trustee & Chair, and support from the British motor industry. For
over five decades the NMM has been a leader and key influencer in the transformation of the independent
museums, country house, visitor attraction and historic car sectors.
The NMM and its Collections Centre sit within Beaulieu visitor site operated by Beaulieu Enterprises, who
are a vital stakeholder and partner. Together with Beaulieu Enterprises, the NMM is a significant part of the
local economy and a key component of Hampshire’s cultural landscape. The Museum has long provided
leadership as the UK’s primary motoring collection and works in sustainable partnership with museums
and other stakeholders, such as the Shell Heritage Art Collection and the Caravan & Motorhome Club
Collection. As a nationally styled museum under the Arts Council England's (ACE) Accreditation scheme, the
NMM has a national remit and an international reputation. The Museum's collections are designated by
ACE as being of national and international significance, from world famous vehicles to a huge variety of
motoring objects in the Collections Centre which are a key resource for projects, research, exhibitions, and
education programmes. In total, the Museum collections include approximately 180 cars and small
commercial vehicles, 100 motorcycles, 50,000 motoring related objects, over 1.4 million photographic
images and 24 cubic metres of motoring archive. The specialist Reference Library has over 310,000
individual items and the Film & Video Library holds 26,000 moving image and audio items.
The NMM also has a trading operation which provides a Motoring Research & Enquiries Service receiving
queries from across the globe, a Motoring Picture Library and Film & Video editing and transfer services.
The NMM together with the Beaulieu attractions delivers an integrated education programme which
maximises the benefit of the wider site and all its elements, holding the Sandford Award for Heritage
education since this mark of recognition was conceived in 1978.
The NMM attracts around 330,000 visitors each year from all parts of the country and abroad, though many
are within ninety minutes’ drive-time and others may be on holiday in the New Forest and Bournemouth
areas. The large events held onsite in a normal year also attract thousands of international visitors. The
NMM also has an extensive online presence, with 96,000 visits to its website in 2020. In terms of social
media, the NMM YouTube site had 93,000 views last year and Facebook reach was 466,000.

Context
The NMMT is currently working with Trustees, supporters, staff, volunteers and other stakeholders on an
ambitious and transformational five-year plan for the NMM, which commences in 2021. It aims to revitalise
the organisation, reassert its reputation for innovation and realise its true potential. The NMM marks its
50th anniversary in 2022 and this provides a launch pad to demonstrate new and imaginative ways of
sharing the story of motoring through the collections. The subject specialism of the NMM can make
connections in a way that others cannot - motoring is familiar and all around us, it affects the lives of almost
everyone and shapes society. The changes taking place in the motor industry are the most fundamental
since its beginnings in the late 19th century and offer an exciting opportunity for the NMM to showcase the
past, present and future of motoring as a continuum.
One of the first steps of the five-year plan is for the Trustees to appoint a dedicated Chief Executive to lead
the NMM. The postholder will be responsible for contributing to and realising the ambitious strategic plan,
leading 11 full time equivalent staff and some 60 volunteers, and working in partnership with the wider
Beaulieu visitor attraction. This is a hugely exciting moment for the NMM as it reopens after Covid, invests
in its own strategic leader, celebrates the last 50 years, and looks forward to the next 50.

The role
PURPOSE OF POST
Leading the National Motor Museum (NMM), the Chief Executive will be responsible for delivering the
Museum’s mission, vision, and strategy. This is a new role (replacing a part time secondee) intended to
ensure the successful implementation of an ambitious new plan for the NMM.
Working closely with the President of the NMM, Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, the NMM Trustees, the MD of
Beaulieu Enterprises Ltd (BEL) and colleagues across the National Motor Museum Trust (NMMT) and BEL,
the Chief Executive will take the NMM forward in a new and ambitious phase of its life.
The Chief Executive will act as an advocate and an ambassador for the organisation with a wide range of
stakeholders. They will develop partnerships and build relationships with individuals and organisations to
implement the NMM’s strategy. Managing and supporting the Director of Collections and Engagement, they

collection and community and learning events indoors, outdoors, onsite, offsite, and using digital channels

form strong relationships with the motor industry, Higher Education Institutions, and other partners,
including funders and sponsors and with local, national, and international organisations.

current buildings and, possibly, to create a new building on the site.

and aspects of the public programmes and public engagement are employed by the NMMT and those
responsible for the operation of the Museum and visitor experience are employed by BEL. The Beaulieu

such as finance, human resources and other support services.
