Beth Thoren has been appointed to the new role of Director of Fundraising and Communications
at wildlife conservation charity RSPB. Her appointment will bring the charity’s 
Marketing and Communications directorates together into a newly created Fundraising
and Communications directorate.

Thoren starts at the charity on 21 November. She joins from Digital UK where she
is Director of Communications. She devised and led the nationwide communications
campaign for the UK’s switchover to digital TV. Before that she was Head of Digital
Marketing at the BBC.

She is a passionate marine conservationist, and recently took a sabbatical to join
the crew of the campaign ship, Sea Shepherd.
