Lewis Barr, Frettens Solicitors’ Marketing & Commercial Director, is to become a member of the Income Generation and Marketing sub committee (IGM) to the Board of Trustees.

The voluntary role provides expert marketing, digital support and advice to the IGM sub committee and newly-appointed Olivia Girling, the charity’s Head of Marketing & Communications.
