The Trust is managed by the trustees, who are voted in by the members at the Annual General Meeting. There is a maximum of 15 trustees. We are trying to ensure that the trustees represent a wide cross-section of the community, and have skills which reflect the needs of the Trust going forward.
Any member of the Trust can become a trustee. If you are interested in becoming a trustee or would like to find out more about what it would involve, please contact
Tony Rogers (chair)
I moved to Strath in February 2020 with my wife, Julia, and spaniel, Pepita. We moved from Brighton which was a bit of a culture shock. Not least because the move coincided with a global pandemic. But we wouldn’t swap our move for the world and enjoy a much-improved quality of life.
I grew up across the water, in Dundee, but worked most of my career down south as a People Management professional. I still work now, as an independent consultant specialising in conflict management and organisational development. I believe in doing the right thing even when nobody is watching.
My interests include creative writing (sometimes performing at spoken word events), history, theatre and cooking.

Brian used to have a fleet of vintage cars which were used in a wedding hire business, and he also collected vintage tractors. Genealogy is another great interest.
