Seven new non-executive directors have been appointed to serve on Cumbria Primary Trust board following an open process run by the Appointments Commission.
They are: Allan Buckley; Mary Dowling, of Grange-over-Sands; Ian Gordon; Keith Little; Bob McCulloch, of Ulverston; Peter Nuttall; and Shirley Reveley.
Chief executive Sue Page said: "We are delighted to welcome such a talented group of non-executive directors from such a wide range of backgrounds. I feel each area of Cumbria is properly represented on the trust board and that our new directors will be great advocates for their community. We have a huge challenge ahead and I am sure each and every one of them will give their utmost support to our success."
