Nicci Marzec became interim boss at Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue on July 7, but stood down after her ‘friendship’ with Commissioner Stephen Mold had ‘become the story’.The Fire Brigades Union called Ms Marzec’s appointment ‘highly unusual’ as she had ‘no operational understanding of the role’.Radio last week: ‘I actually don’t see that as something which prevents me from giving strategic leadership and direction to the service.
But Mr Mold has said rumours about their friendship has meant neither of them can continue in their current jobs. He said: ‘My friendship with Nicci Marzec, who is a long-standing colleague, has become the story and that must not damage the reputation of these organisations I work so hard to promote and improve.’
In a statement, his office said: ‘Stephen Mold and Nicci Marzec are long-standing work colleagues and personal friends.‘They have been open about their friendship and have never denied it to be the case. They have reiterated that they are not in a relationship.’
