His experience does help, I think. We expect the deficit will be manageable very soon with all the budgeting. Within a year we should be breaking even.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Cathedral\u2019s deficit reportedly stood at \u00a381,000 in December last year, leading the chapter to cut the choir five days before Christmas.<br \/>\nSeven professional members of the choir were made redundant which was expected to save the cathedral \u00a345,000.<br \/>\nThe Reverend Gerwyn Capon, who will be installed on February 28 in time for Lent, previously helped solve financial problems in a parish in the Diocese of Blackburn.<br \/>\nMr Capon, from Anglesey, first came to Llandaff in 2007 where he served as Chaplain to the Archbishop of Wales Dr Barry Morgan.<br \/>\nHe left to work in Blackburn in 2009 but resumed the post of Chaplain in Llandaff in 2012.<br \/>\nThe Cathedral has been left without a Dean since the resignation of The Very Reverend Janet Henderson, 55, after just two months in May last year.<br \/>\nHaving known Mr Capon for many years, Mr Rowlands said despite the challenges of the role he is confident the new Dean will do much good for the cathedral.<br \/>\n\u201cHe ticks all the boxes. He\u2019s the right age and is stable and dependable. The financial situation is one challenge, but so is the choir and a focus to build relationships.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe must make sure to build on the foundations already set and bring people together,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nArchbishop Dr Barry Morgan is reportedly on holiday for two weeks but said: \u201cI have every confidence that Gerwyn will be an excellent dean and parish priest.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe has been a great help to me and I know he will bring those gifts of tact, strength and commitment to what will be a demanding new role for him.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Llandaff Cathedral\u2019s finances are expected to be on the up following the appointment of a former property developer as the new Dean, the cathedral chancellor said yesterday.
