Following the recent resignation of Jazz Bal, we are delighted to confirm that Dave Kelly has been appointed as our new Chair on a permanent basis, with Tony Sampson moving into the Vice Chair role that Dave had vacated.

Both were elected unanimously during an extraordinary meeting of the FAB, where we also decided upon the process for filling the vacant seat left by the departure of Jazz.

We subsequently offered the position to Scott McAllister as the candidate who received the highest number of votes in this summer’s FAB election without being elected to the panel. Scott finished third in the poll, with 14.1% of the vote, and we are pleased to confirm that he has accepted the role and has now joined the FAB on a permanent basis.

We welcome Scott to the team and wish Dave and Tony all the best in their new roles.
