High Life Highland (HLH) has appointed three new voluntary directors to its board.

The three appointees have diverse backgrounds, including health, tourism and law.

David Finlayson, Nick Finnigan and Kirk Tudhope will sit as non-executive directors, supporting the HLH executive team to manage £30m in turnover and thousands of customers across Highland.

His personal interests include cycling, sailing, piping and country dancing.

He has been chairing the charity’s trading company board but will step down from this role to take up his new position.

Mr Finlayson said:  HLH is all about giving people opportunities and literally everything the charity does is in some way linked to health and wellbeing.

“I really want HLH to continue being the standard to which other arms-length organisations aspire to.”

Nick Finnigan was previously executive manager of Edinburgh Castle.

Kirk Tudhope, from Inverness, is head of legal firm Ledingham Chalmers LLP’s employment unit and a partner in the firm.

HLH chairman Ian Ross said he is looking forward to working with the new directors as the charity emerges from the pandemic  and embarks on “what is undoubtedly going to be one of its most challenging phases ever.”
