Meet our new Trustees

2024-11-04

Join us in welcoming four new Trustees to the Board. Earlier this year, we put the call out for expressions of interest and received an impressive 42 applicants from industry leaders.

Richard Lauder, Chair of the Trust for the Destruction of Synthetic Refrigerants says "I'm so pleased to announce four new exceptional Trustees to the team. We received overwhelming interest in these roles, by giants of our industry, any of which I would have been glad to join our Board."

New Trustees Brent Long, Ian Hawke, Michelle Kazor and Nick Tongue join Richard Lauder, Sameer Handa, Linda Mulvihill, Matthew Darby and Emily Mabin-Sutton as the governance body, responsible for guiding the Trust and Cool-Safe into the next era of impact.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be introducing you to each of our Trustees through our emails to the sector and on social media. You can read more about our Trustees here.
