New Board structure for Tourism for All
Tim Gardiner MBE has been appointed to the role of president for Tourism for All (TFA), a national charity that works to secure accessible tourism and travel in the UK.
A TFA trustee for over 15 years, Gardiner has served as chairman since 2015. In his new role he will be responsible for driving forward a new Ambassadors programme.
Meanwhile, Kenny Boyle, former marketing director of VisitBritain, becomes the charity’s chairman.
A trustee for the last five years, he will work closely with TFA’s chief executive Ray Veal.
In other changes Chris Veitch, the prominent consultant and campaigner and the UK government’s Accessibility Champion for the Tourism Sector, becomes vice chair marketing.
Stephen Dunn, former head of employer business development at Remploy and a trustee for over 10 years, becomes vice chair governance.
Robyn Griffith-Jones, senior lecturer in tourism and hospitality marketing at London South Bank University, joins TFA’s Board of Trustees.
Boyle said: "I am delighted and proud to have been appointed chair of Tourism for All and to have the opportunity to work with such a talented team of trustees. I would like to thank Tim Gardiner for the invaluable work he has done as chair.
"These changes to Tourism for All’s Board structure reflect and support our mission to be a relevant and dynamic force for improving the accessibility of the UK tourism industry and for making accessible travel better".
