    Meet our Board: Chair Bill Morris and Ruth Davidson
    Dec 11 2024
    Join Lynsey Fusco as she chats with two Board members – our Chairman Bill Morris, and newest member, Ruth Davidson.

    As Director of Culture, Ceremonies, Education and Live Sites for the London 2012 Olympic Games, Bill has a deep understanding of staging large-scale international events. Before that, Bill worked in radio and TV production at the BBC. As Project Director of Live Events, he was responsible for major spectacles including BBC Music Live, BBC Proms in the Park, ‘Live 8’ in summer 2005, and The Queen’s Concerts at Buckingham Palace, for which he was awarded the LVO in The Queen’s Jubilee Honours List.

    Ruth's diverse and robust background brings a wealth of experience in leadership, public service, and media. Before embarking on her political career, she served in the Territorial Army. This military experience, combined with her subsequent political career, has equipped her with a unique perspective on the importance of national heritage and the role of the military in society.
