Sir Digby Jones chairs new Cancer Research UK corporate fundraising initiative

Howard Lake | 5 June 2006 | News

Cancer Research UK has joined forces with outgoing CBI Director-General Sir Digby Jones to develop a new Corporate Board for the charity.

Sir Digby will chair the Corporate Board which will be made up of ‘corporate ambassadors’ from the business sector. These senior business people will help Cancer Research UK widen its network of contacts in the corporate world with the ultimate aim of engaging businesses in raising money for the charity.

The first task for Sir Digby, working in conjunction with Cancer Research UK, will be the recruitment of the ambassadors. The ambassadors will come from a cross section of businesses and be able to introduce the vital work of the charity to new corporate audiences.
