The second new appointment is Russell Pettigrew, a qualified accountant who began his career in local government in Glasgow.

Anne Jarvie and Wesley Mitchell are the remaining board members. Jarvie worked as a nurse in the NHS before joining the Civil Service, while Mitchell has worked in various areas in the voluntary sector.

The appointments for Dailly and Pettigrew will be for four years, the appointment for Anne Jarvie will be for three years and the appointment for Wesley Mitchell is for a two-year term.
