UK Sailing Academy
Trustee
UK Sailing Academy (UKSA) is a youth development charity based on the Isle of Wight (Cowes) delivering maritime training and education to approximately 10,000 young people per annum. Their charitable purpose is not only educational but they are also particularly committed to providing opportunities to individuals from harder to reach groups. They sought to appoint Trustees who would bring experience in governance, the hotel/catering sectors, or maritime.
Through Nurole they appointed Samantha Axtell, Ole Bettum and Rear Admiral Richard Stokes.
Samantha is the former Governor of the Skinners' Kent Academy and former Bain & Co Director; Ole is the Founder & Managing Partner of Bestport Ventures LLP and Trustee at The Dulwich International Schools Foundation; Richard is the Director of Infrastructure, Engineering & Logistics for the Royal Navy.
Through one posting on Nurole, we have appointed three new trustees and we have been impressed both by the calibre of candidates who applied for the role and by the service provided.
