Arrival: new BBC Trust Chairman Rona Fairhead
10 October 2014
New BBC Trust chairman Rona Fairhead arrived at Broadcasting House for her first day in the job yesterday.
The 53-year-old is the first woman to chair the trust, which is charge of overseeing the BBC.
She replaces Lord Patten, who quit in May after three years. The former head of the Financial Times Group has said she is “under no
illusions about the significance and the enormity of the job” but is “excited” to have the chance to lead the BBC.
