DMQ appoints new chairman

DMQ is pleased to announce the appointment of two new directors: Bob McIntosh, who has been appointed chairman, and Judith Webb. Andrew Hoon continues as chief executive.

Dr McIntosh is a Forestry Commissioner, holding the post of director Scotland within the Forestry Commission. Since 2005 he has chaired the best practice steering group, which oversees the production of wild deer best practice guidance notes and demonstration events in Scotland.

He brings a wealth of knowledge and influence to bear, which is particularly valuable in the light of new Scottish legislation proposals made concerning competence.

Ms Webb is a non-executive Forestry Commissioner, and chairs the England & Wales best practice steering group.

She holds a number of other public appointments in the environmental field, chairs the England Woodland Biodiversity Group, and has been a trustee director of the Deer Initiative.
