Meet your new Chairman – a message from Tom Stainer, Chief Executive
I am pleased to announce that Ash Corbett-Collins has been appointed as our new Chairman.
An election took place at a meeting of the Campaign’s National Executive in Cumbria over the weekend.
Vice Chairman since last November, Ash is a long-standing Director who was first elected to the National Executive in 2018.
He has held key positions on national committees, including People, Digital Futures and Commercial.
Here is Ash’s message to you, following his election:
“This is an exciting time to be taking on the role as your Chairman.
“Holding the Vice Chairman position for the last ten months – along with other roles over the last six years – has given me the experience and knowledge to lead the organisation.
“Effective leadership and collaboration for change is vital to safeguard our future. We are still as vital and relevant for consumers across the UK today as we were half a century ago.
“Our valued and loyal membership means we can work across all nations, whether this is campaigning for change, supporting our events and festivals, or protecting our cherished pubs and access to cask beer. I want to work together to continue to bring about change at a time where pubs, clubs, taprooms and breweries are facing uncertain times.”
The process to elect a new Vice Chair is now underway, with the result expected in the autumn.
Ash also thanked previous Chairman, Nik Antona, for his hard work and dedication. Nik stood down last month due to ill health after a five-and-a-half-year tenure.
Nik has been a CAMRA volunteer for more than 20 years, including holding roles within branches, as a Regional Director and a longstanding National Executive member, holding key positions including Finance Director before his time as Chairman.
Ash can be contacted directly on ash.corbe...@camra.org.uk
Thanks,
Tom Stainer – CAMRA Chief Executive
