Scottish Renewables has appointed three directors to its board following an election held among its more than 380 member organisations, the industry body said.
The successful candidates are Susie Lind of CMS UK, Gillian Noble of ScottishPower Renewables and Jimmy Williamson of the Scottish National Investment Bank. Each will serve an initial three-year term.
Lind was re-elected to the board and brings more than 20 years of experience across the energy and legal sectors. Noble joins the board for the first time and leads onshore wind, solar and battery energy storage development at ScottishPower Renewables. Williamson, also newly elected, sits on the Scottish National Investment Bank’s leadership team with responsibility for net-zero investment origination.
Following the election, Iain Sinclair and Kate Turner have stepped down from the board. Adam Morrison will step down as chair in March but will remain as a director.
“I want to extend my congratulations to Susie, Gillian and Jimmy on their successful appointment to the Board of Scottish Renewables and to the wider candidates who took part in the election,” said Claire Mack, chief executive of Scottish Renewables.
“At Scottish Renewables, we pride ourselves on having a membership and Board that reflects the breadth of activity in our industry. Susie, Gillian and Jimmy will each bring valuable expertise across legal services, project development and investment,” Mack added.
She said the board plays a key role in providing leadership to help maximise the sector’s contribution to the energy transition, noting that the industry is navigating both long-term framework design and near-term challenges.
Mack also paid tribute to Adam Morrison for his support to the organisation during his time as chair and thanked outgoing directors Iain Sinclair and Kate Turner for their contributions. Morrison will remain on the board while taking on a new role as chair of the Offshore Wind Industry Council.
