Trustees Unlimited appoints Helen Simpson as new chair

Trustees Unlimited, which this year celebrates five years in business, has appointed Helen Simpson as its new chair.

Simpson is head of the consultancy Simpson & Associates, and has held several senior and board positions in not-for-profit and commercial organisations.

Ian Joseph, chief executive of Trustees Unlimited said: “Trustees Unlimited has grown significantly since its launch and we are delighted that Helen is joining us for the next part of our journey. We are confident that her diverse experience in the charity and commercial sectors will mean a bright future for Trustees Unlimited.

“Over the past five years we’ve seen a big increase in the number of organisations approaching us to recruit professional trustees to make their boards more diverse.”

Simpson said: “Charities have been through big changes over the past few years, especially to their funding models and need trustees with more varied skills and business acumen than in the past to succeed. I am honoured to be working with the Trustees Unlimited board.”
