New Non Executive Director

Last updated 22-Feb-10 13:50

The Appointments Commission has appointed a new Non Executive Director to Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust - Mr Tim Evans.  He has been appointed for four years from 1 January 2010 and will receive remuneration of £6,096 per annum.  He replaces Eugene Rembor who resigned in September 2009 to take up a senior appointment in Germany.  The Trust is responsible for Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals, with a staff of 4,200 and an annual budget of £330 million.

Tim Evans's career has been in marketing and he is currently running his own independent consultancy (Evans Major Associates Ltd).  Amongst his most recent assignments were working with a FTSE 100 company; an internet start-up and as an adviser to a Government Department.  He also provides pro-bono marketing and commercial support for an environmental and sustainability group Do the Green Thing.  Prior to this Tim worked at BT for 20 years, and posts included Marketing Director of Consumer Division, Marketing Director of Small and Medium Business Division and Group Marketing and Brand Director.   Tim is married with two children and lives in north London.

The appointments have been made in accordance with the OCPA Code of Practice.  All non executive appointments are made on merit and political activity plays no part in the selection process.  However, in accordance with the original Nolan recommendations, there is a requirement for appointees' political activity (if any declared) to be made public.  Tim Evans has no declared political activity, and he does not hold any other ministerial appointments.

Welcoming Tim to the Trust, Trust Board Chairman Baroness Wall said "I am delighted that Tim is going to join the Trust - we are entering a very exciting time as we move forward with the clinical strategy and towards becoming an NHS Foundation Trust and I am sure that Tim's experience and expertise will be huge assets to the Board."

Tim Evans said "I am absolutely delighted to be invited to join the Board.  I hope the skills gained during my career, particularly those at BT, will complement the skills and experience of colleagues on the Board.  There are many parallels between the challenges faced by BT and the NHS including a focus on delivering an excellent customer experience, to which I know the Board is committed."
