James McQuiggan
Chief Executive
I’ve been working within the voluntary sector for more than 25 years both locally and nationally, as part of a national framework. During that time, l’ve also held positions supporting other organisations either as a non-executive director, trustee, and public elected governor for 9 years with EPUT (NHS Trust). In addition, I’ve also worked with Essex police as a board member for the diverse communities’ program which helps to promote inclusion in all aspects of their work.
Away from work I enjoy spending time with my family and can often be found walking my dog along the coastline or woodland areas.
