Eamonn O’Neal been appointed by King Charles as High Sheriff of Greater Manchester.
In an unusual move, the father-of-three, from Sale, will be installed as High Sheriff for a second time, having previously held the position in 2020.
He will be installed as High Sheriff at Wardley Hall, Salford, in April, succeeding Mary Elizabeth Walker whose term of office ends at that point.
In addition to being one of our trustees, Eamonn, who will hold office for 12 months, has been a prominent broadcaster and journalist in the North West, having been head of regional programmes at Granada Television, managing editor of the Manchester Evening News and a presenter with BBC Radio Manchester.
He said: “It’s a huge honour and quite humbling to be chosen as High Sheriff of Greater Manchester again. I’m grateful to have the chance to connect and engage with the charitable, voluntary, faith, ethnic, cultural and business communities across the county.”
This is unique in the history of Greater Manchester, as he has now been appointed by two different monarchs.
