The National Association of Air Ambulances (AAA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Clive Dickin as its new National Director.
Previously Mr Dickin, 38, led two national organisations from the built environment, helping to improve performance as well as working closely with the Health and Safety Executive to launch the “Gas Safe Register”, the national safety programme for domestic gas safety. More recently he has established a charity to preserve the largest collection of vintage operational jet aircraft in Europe.
Speaking about his appointment, Mr Dickin said: “I feel deeply honoured to be invited to join one of the most distinguished associations in the country,”
“Thanks to its dedicated staff and volunteers, air ambulance charities are held in the highest regard and perfectly positioned to further enhance their reputation. And, needless to say, I am delighted to be appointed to this important role and look forward to working with the charities to help them realise their future ambitions.”
Speaking about the appointment, Anthony Marsh, AAA Chairman, said: “I am delighted to announce Clive’s appointment. He brings with him extensive strategic, financial and operational experience having worked across a range of sectors. Clive has a proven track record of achievement which will further strengthen the Association. “
The success of the Air Ambulance Services in providing a rapid response to life-threatening situations has been established over the past twenty-five years. The Association of Air Ambulances is the representative body for Air Ambulance Services and works to build on existing relationships between charities and the Ambulance Service to develop a continually improving emergency response network.
Clive Dickin is the first appointed National Director and will assume his new role later this month. He can be reached at clive.dickin@airambulanceassociation.co.uk
