We are delighted to welcome new trustees, Worldwide Broker Network executive Alan Fergusson and former Ethos Energy CFO Chris Watson.
Alan and Chris join chair Jen Hardy, CEO Ian Pirrie and trustee Karen Macartney on our journey to achieve our vision to partner with the NHS by supporting everyone affected by cancer, enabling them to directly access relevant information, services, support and products.
Alan Fergusson has been in the financial services industry for more than 25 years. Founder of Kudos Financial Services, which he then sold to Mattioli Woods PLC, Alan went on to run his own consultancy and, with his extensive experience, took up non-executive director roles with several businesses. He travels extensively in a new global role with Worldwide Broker Network. Alan lives in Aberdeen and, having been affected by cancer as a son and friend, wants to give something back to help build Cancer Card and achieve its goals.
Chris Watson is an experienced senior finance professional and chartered accountant based in Aberdeen. He worked for PwC for 11 years before joining Wood Group, where he held several senior finance positions before helping establish the Ethos Energy joint venture, where he was CFO. Chris now provides support to Mearns & Gill as well as holding some non-executive positions, including working with other charities. Chris’s financial expertise, professional experience and commitment to charitable work will help Cancer Card achieve its goals.
