Melanie May | 23 May 2016 | News
Lou McGrath OBE has taken over as CEO of landmine charity Find a Better Way.
McGrath was CEO of the Mine Advisory Group (MAG) for 14 years where he saw both MAG’s income and its landmine clearance programmes grow substantially. McGrath also established MAG America in Washington DC, and was awarded an OBE in 2007 for services to landmine clearance.
Find A Better Way was founded by Sir Bobby Charlton in 2011, and acts as a funding body for technological research into improving the tools available for the detection of landmines and other explosive remnants of war.
McGrath said:
“Find A Better Way funds several impressive research projects which have the potential to accelerate landmine detection and enhance the lives of landmine trauma victims. I’m looking forward to helping develop this pioneering research and working with the rest of the Find A Better Way team to help the charity reach its full potential.”
