Chair of Trustees

After a brilliant few years for the charity, Design West seeks our next chair of trustees.

INTRODUCTION FROM THE OUTGOING CHAIR

“It has been my privilege to chair the Board of Trustees for the last six years. During this time Design West has developed significantly in stature & influence. The Director & a very capable team have developed a wide range of collaborations & partnerships across the South West assisting towns, cities & communities to shape their environments through engagement & dialogue.

The impact of the built environment, on all our lives, has never been as important as it is today. Design West has a great deal to contribute to support & influence all those involved in creating our built & green environments to ensure a better future.

I leave this exceptional organisation in the very capable hands of the Board of Trustees & a dedicated Director & her team. I will look forward with interest to seeing Design West continue to thrive as it enters the next phase of development. I am in no doubt that Design West is playing an important role at a critical time & I wish everyone involved the very best for the future.”
