This is a significant moment for our organisation—one of both continuity and renewal. As Chair, I’m fortunate to work with an exceptional team of staff, trustees, volunteers, members, and partners who are united by a shared commitment to the future of nature and place in North Wales. Together, we are proud of the progress the Trust has made in recent years—progress made possible thanks to the outstanding leadership of our outgoing CEO, Frances Cattanach.
Frances has guided the Trust with wisdom, clarity, and deep integrity. Under her tenure, we have strengthened our finances, deepened our community relationships, expanded our conservation impact, and clarified our organisational purpose. She leaves the Trust in a strong and positive position—respected locally and nationally, and ready to take thoughtful, ambitious steps into its next chapter.
We are now seeking a leader who can build on that foundation with confidence and care. Someone who brings both strategic rigour and relational depth—able to lead a complex organisation through change, while staying grounded in the values of collaboration, integrity, and long-term stewardship.
This role also sits within a wider movement. North Wales Wildlife Trust works closely with the other four Wildlife Trusts in Wales, as well as with the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT), as part of a growing, UK-wide commitment to nature recovery. Strong partnerships, shared learning, and joined-up leadership across the movement will be vital in the years ahead.
