Following an open competition, the UKHO is delighted to announce the appointment of Sandra Rogers as our new Non-Executive Chair.

Sandra, who has been on the UKHO’s board for more than eight years having joined in July 2002, has been Interim Chair since October 2009 and she takes up her new position for an initial term of three years.
