WithYou is delighted to announce the appointment of its new Chair of Trustees, James Angus Pow.
James is an experienced Chief Executive, bringing significant business and people-centred experience to the role. He is a specialist in branded retail, wholesale and consumer sectors internationally, and his experience spans more than four decades within manufacturing, supply chain, sales and marketing and brand.
James is also the Chair of Victim Support Scotland and Vice-Chair of Blue Triangle (Glasgow) Housing Association, a charity dedicated to help young people and adults struggling with homelessness and trauma in their lives.
James succeeds in this role Anne Chapman, the longest-standing Trustee at WithYou.
James says: ‘I am delighted to join WithYou as the Chair of the Board of Trustees. WithYou’s approach where anyone seeking help with drugs, alcohol or mental health issues feels welcomed, not judged, is a powerful ethos that I stand behind. I feel privileged to be able to work so closely with people in our society who need the most expert help and support, at such an important time for these vital people-centred support services.’
Simon Phillips, CEO of WithYou, says: ‘I am delighted that James has made the decision to take on the role of Chair of Trustees for our charity. James brings a diverse wealth of experience both as a Non-Executive Director and as an expert in complex strategic and operational environments. His significant expertise and clear passion for the sector will support WithYou in the ongoing development of our strategy and the absolute focus on supporting our clients where and when they need it the most.
‘I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Anne Chapman, WithYou’s departing Chair, for her passion and dedication to the charity over her 10 year tenure as Trustee, two of which as WithYou’s Chair.’
