Statements on changes to the PFS Board

Carla Brown, Chair, PFS Board

"The PFS Board has taken a decision that the best interests of PFS members will be served by the PFS remaining part of the CII group and the two bodies collaborating to create and adopt a new operating framework. PFS and CII members have a long and historically successful tradition of working together at local, national and, increasingly, international level. After several challenging years post-Covid, the group has refocused on its purpose, overhauled its leadership and restored its finances in order to achieve ambitious plans for current and future PFS members. This is the right time for the PFS Board to work closely with the CII to put in place a framework that will allow us to invest significantly in member benefits, building on the expansion of member events we have achieved in the last few months. We would like extend our thanks to Daniel Williams and Ben Wright for their many contributions to the PFS over their respective tenures, and we wish them well for the future."

Dr Helen Phillips, Chair, CII Group Board

"I'd like to thank Daniel Williams and Ben Wright for their service. I am looking forward to working closely with Carla Brown, whose determination to take the PFS to a bright future within the CII Group is both obvious and impressive."
