News 2002

One of the most important events in the IFGB calendar in 2002 was the relocation of our offices from Berkshire to central London. Waterford Wedgwood have provided the IFGB with rent-free office space above their Regent Street retail outlet.

The move took place at the end of April and will make a huge contribution to the Chairman and Trustees plans for the development and strengthening of The Fund's activities in the UK.

After eight years of loyal service with The Funds in our Reading office, we regretfully bid farewell to our colleague Karon Prior. We wish Karon all the best in her new career - she will be missed by the IFGB Trustees and Council who all appreciated her calm and capable presence.

Welcome to Ann Catifeoglou - who is of Irish family although you might not guess from her name! Ann joins the IFGB as Administration Manager.

The year 2002 has been marked by major changes in The IFGB. In January, the Trustees and Council offically welcomed their new Chairman, Peter Sutherland.

The outgoing Chairman, Bryan Hayes, was presented with a specially commissioned piece of crystal in thanks for years of dedicated service.
