Derek’s formative years were spent in local government before he joined the Third Sector in the late 80s, a move that he describes as a “great decision” and he has remained within it ever since. Derek has spent the last 20 years in a variety of senior management and leadership roles and has worked in service areas that include, the environment , regeneration, sustainable development, education, leisure, community development, health and social care, children’s’ services, youth work, and charity fundraising.

A qualified manager, Derek’s experience extends to time spent in both Scotland and England and Keep Scotland Beautiful is the fourth charity that he has led as Chief Executive. Derek is a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), a Member of ACEVO, the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations and a member of ACOSVO, the Association of Chief Officers of Scottish Voluntary Organisations.

Derek has served on a variety of charity boards, Third Sector advisory groups and has also assisted a number of voluntary and charitable organisations that have been working through change.

Derek is a keen golfer and spends a considerable amount of time on the Isle of Arran which is a favourite holiday destination.
