FRIDAY 19 NOVEMBER - A new honour for a distinguished public servant.

Many congratulations to our Non Executive Director Chris Davies CBE on his appointment as a Deputy Lord Lieutenant of the County of Somerset. This is a rare honour bestowed by Her Majesty The Queen on individuals who have given long and distinguished service to their County.


Chris was appointed to the board of Somerset Care in April 2008, having spent his career in social work and having worked as Director of Social Services for both Somerset County Council and Cardiff City Council. He is also a former President of the Association of Directors of Social Services.

We wish Chris every success with this new role. I wonder if I might have to teach him some sword drill!
