Our Board of Trustees

Chair of Trustees

Diane Cutler

I have spent 40 years operating within the Financial Services industry at senior management level across operational & compliance environments.

Following my own cancer journey in 2017 when I was most appreciative of the support & services offered by Wessex Cancer Support, I am now in a position to ‘give back’ and support the charity in the role of Chair of Trustees.

Vice-Chair of Trustees

Jonathan Plumtree

I am a chartered accountant and have spent my career within the financial services industry, including running a number of life insurance businesses over the last 15 years. I first came across Wessex Cancer Support when our son was being treated for leukaemia on Piam Brown ward at Southampton General Hospital over twenty years ago.

Hampshire has always been my home county and I also now spend a lot of time on the Isle of Wight, so am delighted to join this fabulous local charity at such an exciting time as we look to extend support to more local people living with cancer.

Treasurer

Martin Miles

Having grown up in the Wessex region, but having spent many years in senior finance roles in London and internationally, including the last six years as Chief Financial Officer of the British Heart Foundation, we moved back to the region early in 2021.

I was therefore delighted and honoured to secure this opportunity to apply my experience in supporting a fantastic organisation delivering such key services to the local community.

Trustee

Becks Brockwell

As the co-founder and owner of a digital marketing agency, my day-to-day role is to bring digital marketing expertise, strategy and consultancy to brands within the healthcare sector.

Having called Hampshire my home for over 15 years I am thrilled to be able to offer my time and digital expertise to Wessex Cancer Support, in my role as a Trustee. It is so heart-warming to see the difference this wonderful charity makes to the people of the Wessex region.

Trustee

Tim Jones

I am a chartered accountant with over 20 years’ experience in senior finance roles and have corporate experience covering finance, governance, risk management and delivering significant M&A transactions.

I am very pleased to have joined Wessex Cancer Support’s board as a Trustee and look forward to supporting this very worthwhile charity which delivers important services and support for people living with cancer in our region.

Special Advisor

Edit Galambos

I am a nurse with vast knowledge and experience in cancer. My current NHS role particularly focussing on improving care for patients with cancer and in providing strong cancer nursing leadership.

I have always worked in the Wessex area throughout my cancer nursing journey and I feel I can provide a great support to the charity being a link between Wessex Cancer Support and the NHS.
