Welcome to our new CEO Adrian
We welcome Adrian Bell as he starts as our new Chief Executive Officer.
A veteran himself, Adrian served in the Royal Navy for 30 years as a Warfare Officer with the privilege to command three warships. He finished his time as Commander of British Forces in Gibraltar.
He decided to leave the Navy in 2010 to work in the charity sector. He was Chief Executive of the Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance Trust and joins Blind Veterans UK from his role as the Chief Executive of the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC).
Adrian added: "I would like to thank the staff, volunteers, and, most importantly, the blind veterans I’ve met so far for the very warm welcome I’ve been given. I look forward to meeting many more over the coming weeks and months."
