Cornwall Air Ambulance announces new Chief Executive

Tim currently works for BBC Children in Need and has previously held senior fundraising roles with a number of leading charities in the South West.

Mark Carne, Chair of the Board of Trustees, said: “We are delighted to welcome Tim to lead the vital lifesaving work of our charity. The missions are entirely paid for by the public and we believe that Tim’s experience and leadership will help us to keep flying and saving lives well into the future.”

Tim added: “As someone who lives in Cornwall with my family, I know just how vital Cornwall Air Ambulance is to everyone who lives in or visits Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly. It will be an honor to lead this remarkable team and I am looking forward to getting started and meeting colleagues and supporters.”

The Board of Trustees also expressed their deep appreciation to Steve Murdoch, the charity’s Chief Operating Officer, who has been acting Chief Executive for three months and who will continue in this role until Tim arrives later in the summer.

Recently, a teenage patient became the first person to receive a blood transfusion at the scene of an incident thanks to a new partnership between medical services in the UK, including the Cornwall Air Ambulance.
