Board of Trustees

Chair Person Gordon Thomson  Gordon

Gordon has been on the board of Braveheart for more than 10 years, first as a representative of Merck &Co, a pharmaceutical company that helped with funding Braveheart in the early days, and more recently as an independent.  Gordon led the organisation through the tricky transition from an unincorporated body to the much “fitter” SCIO (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation).
Gordon has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for the last 31 years.  The last 12 years have been in roles that require a more collaborative and partnership working approach, developing skills that are also very useful for Braveheart. Gordon is married with four children and lives in a small village in west Stirlingshire.  He plays a very active role in village life and is a director of the local village trust.  He is keen interest all kinds of sport and plays drums in a band.  As one of the longer serving board members he has seen the organisation go through a number of highs and lows.  He is confident that with the strong management and committed staff we will witness a sustained “high” over the coming months and years.  The work of Braveheart is so important in improving the lives of many people across Forth Valley and it is this that motivates Gordon to continue working for Braveheart.

 

Treasurer David BremnerDavid

Davids working life was spent in Finance in NHS Forth Valley, apart from 3 years training in an Accountancy firm in Glasgow. It was through this that he was appointed to the Board in 2006 in the position of Treasurer. For a 2 year spell between 2010 and 2012 he stood down as Treasurer but remained on the Board.
He again became Treasurer in 2012 when the post holder had to resign due to work commitments. David took early retirement from the NHS and now spends 1-2 days a week, in a voluntary capacity, in the Braveheart office.
