BACK TO TEAM

“We are very happy with the decision to appoint Kate. Despite not having met in person Kate also very quickly worked out where the strengths and weaknesses in fellow trustees were and takes that into account in her dealings with the board. She also always takes the Sponsor’s view into consideration and has built a good relationship. And her legal background means that she ensures all documents and issues are considered before decisions are made and everyone has the opportunity to give their views.”
