Following the resignation of the previous Chairman Colin Richards, sportscotland, who attend all ABS Ltd Board meetings, strongly recommended ABS Ltd appoint a new Chairman. After a brief discussion the Board appointed Richard Thomas, a position which Richard accepted in an interim capacity as minuted on 01.11.2009
On the 7th March 2010, the Board unanimously elected to appoint Richard as the permanent Chairman of ABS Ltd after 14 months of tireless work as an ABS Ltd Board member. This deleted the voluntary CEO position completely leaving ABS Ltd with a clear management structure of Chairman, Board of Directors and professional staff.
Richard was not involved in any part of the process.
