New Trustee Appointment Announced

We are delighted to announce that Ruj Dev, Chief Financial Officer at Mills & Reeve, has recently joined the Board of the Community Foundations for Lancashire and Merseyside (CFLM) as Treasurer Trustee.

Ruj brings with her over 20 years of extensive experience in both the public and private sectors. Having begun her career with Price Waterhouse Coopers, she has since earned recognition as a Fellow Chartered Accountant of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). She has experience that includes over eleven years within a number of prominent law firms in the North West.

Taking over from Colin Wardale, former Finance Director at Hill Dickinson, who assumed the role of Trustee in 2018, Ruj is poised to bring her wealth of expertise to her new position.

In her own words, Ruj expressed her enthusiasm for this opportunity, stating,

“I am always on the lookout for ways to make a positive difference in the communities in which I have lived and worked. I look forward to contributing to the continued success of the Community Foundations for Lancashire and Merseyside, and our joint desire to leave a lasting, meaningful impact.”

Rae Brooke, CEO, CFLM commented,

“We are delighted to welcome Ruj, who we know will support us in the next phase of our growth and in achieving our ambition of increasing investment into the community and voluntary sectors across Lancashire and Merseyside. I’d also like to thank Colin for his incredible support, which has seen us continue to expand our reach over the past five years and help many people in the community during the pandemic.”
