It has been announced today that Peter Bennett-Jones is to step down as Comic Relief Chair of Trustees after 15 years in the role. He will be handing over the reins in September this year to newly appointed Chair Designate, Tim Davie, Chief Executive of BBC Worldwide and Director, Global.
Richard Curtis, CBE, Trustee and Founder of Comic Relief, said:
“Peter has been an extraordinary Chair, leading us through some of our most successful and innovative years with compassion, rigour and ambition. It is difficult for all of us at Comic Relief to say farewell to Peter after so many brilliant years working together, but a successor of Tim Davie’s stature and experience brings excitement and opportunity. We are enormously pleased to welcome him to Comic Relief.”
Tim Davie, Chair Designate of Comic Relief, said:
“It is a great privilege to take on the role of Chair of Trustees for Comic Relief. Under Peter's outstanding leadership, the charity has built an impressive track record of tackling poverty and social injustice as well as establishing itself as a much loved and admired fundraiser. I very much look forward to supporting the team in continuing their important work."
