James brings a wealth of expertise to the role and the Board looks forward to working with him in furthering the success of the Society.’
James Hughes, the Society’s new Director said:
‘Working for the Society over the past twelve years has been very much a labour of love. I am, therefore, absolutely thrilled to be taking on the leadership of the organisation, particularly at such an exciting time of institutional change and development. The Society inevitably faces many challenges, but opportunities abound, and I look forward to focussing my energies on expanding the reach of the Society and building on its vital work.’
