McNamara will appoint two vice-chairs in the coming weeks, and the Foundation will soon announce a chair of the fellowship.

Denton said the organisation was "delighted" McNamara had "committed to help the Foundation build its portfolio of new and challenging activities."

He added the appointments are "intended to ensure that the Foundation’s growth is managed e?ectively by providing leadership focus and greater linkage within these important groups."

Thomas said: "The momentum we have gained through the support of our Governors and Fellows is exceptional as we continue to build the Foundation.
