- “An external review of governance was completed in March 2023 and implementation of its recommendations continued throughout 2024/25. This included a detailed consideration of the Foundation's governance and leadership structure, which led to the decision to create a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) role to provide unified strategic leadership across the Foundation. The role was developed during 2024/25, with the recruitment process launched in September 2025. The new CEO, Mr Chris Staley, took office in January 2026.”
