Hilary Hall
Corporate Director, Community Wellbeing
I’m the Corporate Director for Community Wellbeing and hold the statutory Director of Adult Social Services function. I’m a proud Herefordian! I was born here and lived and worked in the county before moving away for work for a number of years. I returned to the county and the council in June 2022 and it’s great to be back.
Outside of work, I spend my time gardening, walking, going to the theatre and spending time with my two adorable cats!
Matt Pearce
Director of Public Health
I joined Herefordshire Council in March 2022 as the Director of Public Health. My career has included a variety of roles in the NHS, local government and the private sector. My role is diverse and I am passionate about bringing partners together and making a real difference to the health of the most disadvantaged people in the county.
In my spare time, I enjoy taking part in a variety of sports and fitness activities and have an active interest in academia and research.

I am the Service Director for All Age Commissioning, I joined Herefordshire Council in January 2023. I have significant experience of working within Local Authority settings to design and deliver services across a whole system. I am passionate about co-production; ensuring residents and stakeholders are engaged to ensure commissioned services are well designed, provide value for money and offer seamless quality services to residents. I am a collaborative leader and have experience of designing and implementing commissioning strategies across a range of areas including Children and Young Peoples Services, Education, Public Health and Adult Social Care. I am excited about the opportunities and challenges ahead for Herefordshire in transforming commissioned services and the development of an All Age Commissioning Strategy.
A good work life balance is important to maintain wellbeing and resilience, Herefordshire Councils approach to agile and flexible working supports staff to maintain this. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and long walks in the fresh air with my Staffy.
