ABF Chair, Simon Heale, is Non-Executive Chair of a business that last week sadly went into administration.
Understandably, Simon needs to focus on overseeing this process; and does not wish this to impinge on the smooth running of the ABF.
Therefore, with immediate effect, he is standing down as Chair. The Board has confirmed the current Vice Chair, Sarah Booth, as the new Chair. Sarah brings to the role considerable and relevant knowledge, skill and experience from her commercial career, together with a deep understanding of the Charity and the outputs it delivers for the Army family.
The ABF Board of Trustees would like to thank Simon for his excellent and devoted service and leadership to the ABF, and for his clear dedication to the welfare of soldiers, veterans, and their families.
