A former student at Scotland’s Rural College, David Bell, is among three new non-executive directors to be appointed to the college's Board.
Mr Bell, who studied for his HND in Agriculture at the King’s Buildings in Edinburgh in 2001, joins marketing professional Jane Craigie and Chris Sayers, former chair of the board of governors at Northumbria University, in the latest round of appointments. Meanwhile Bruce Wood, already a member of the Board, has been confirmed as the new vice-chair.
In addition to running his farm near St Andrews, Mr Bell sits on a machinery ring co-operative board covering the central belt, a sector board for AHDB covering the whole of the UK and is chair of the Voluntary Initiative in Scotland. He is also chair of the local NFU Scotland branch and a member of AHDB’s Research and Knowledge Exchange and Recommended List committees.
