Not-for-profit organisation The British Safety Council has appointed Richard Evens as its new commercial director.
Evens will be responsible for increasing the take-up of its training courses, audits, awards and consultancy and membership services to help organisations access advice on health, safety and environmental management.
Evens has over 15 years’ experience in senior commercial roles in the not-for-profit sector, most recently as commercial marketing director for St John Ambulance. Prior to this, he worked for Oxfam in another senior commercial role and also held marketing and logistics roles in the oil sector with Shell and Total.
Evens said: “Our members play a vital role in promoting the business and economic benefits of effective health, safety and environmental management by sharing their knowledge and experience with others, such as their supply chain and business networks.
“They also help the British Safety Council to influence government thinking and policy on occupational safety and health by providing us with their views including where improvements to our regulatory framework can be made.”
Alex Botha, the British Safety Council’s chief executive, added: “Richard has a wealth of experience in increasing generating income to increase the influence and reach of organisations in the not-for-profit sector, and I am certain that he will help the British Safety Council to offer the products and services that businesses everywhere need to effectively manage their health, safety and environmental risks.”
