**Lou McGrath OBE has taken over as CEO of landmine charity [Find a Better Way](http://www.findabetterway.org.uk/).**

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.
