Deafblind charity Sense has appointed John Crabtree OBE, until recently High Sheriff
of the County of West Midlands, as its new Chairman. Recently retired as Senior 
Partner of international law firm, Wragge & Co, Crabtee will take over the role 
from Dr Katia Herbst.

A Trustee of Sense since 2002, Crabtree became involved with Sense more than 15 
years ago, when he was asked to find someone to join a fundraising committee in 
Birmingham. Unable to secure a person with the required credentials, John put himself
forward and has been associated with Sense since.
