United Welsh mourns the loss of long serving Board Member

John Skipper, who died suddenly on Saturday 17^th November, had been a Board Member at United Welsh since its independence in 1989 until he retired from the Board at this year’s AGM in July.  He was a member of United Welsh’s Audit Committee and also a former Chair of the Remuneration Committee.

Following his retirement, the Board offered John Skipper the honorary position of Vice President in recognition of the service he had provided, both as a Board Member and Treasurer.   His was thrilled to accept this position and was very keen to keep in touch with United Welsh and its staff, for whom he had a great affection.

John will be sadly missed and the thoughts of the organisation are with his friends and family.
