Both will officially start from 1 September 2023 and will bring a breadth of experience and expertise from across a number of sectors to the strategic leadership of the RCR.

These appointments follow the proposed changes to modernise the governance of the RCR which included establishing a new Trustee Board, with Mr Carey appointed as the first Lay Treasurer, and Sir David as a Lay Trustee.
