We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Angela Noon OBE as a new Trustee for the Spectris Foundation. Angela joined Spectris plc as Chief Financial Officer in September 2024 and has more than 25 years of finance and commercial leadership experience.
Her achievements in championing education are notable; in November 2024, she was honoured with an honorary doctorate from the University of the West of Scotland, acknowledging her commitment to advancing education and skills development. Additionally, Angela was Chair of the Skills and Productivity Board for the UK which reported to the Secretary of State for Education, and was later honoured with an OBE for her contributions.
Angela’s passion for promoting social mobility and educational access has been a driving force throughout her career. Her wealth of experience will be invaluable in her role as Trustee, as we seek to enable underrepresented groups to gain access to quality STEM education.
The role of a Trustee includes compliance, acting in the charity’s best interests, managing resources responsibly, and ensuring the charity is accountable. Angela brings with her an excellent combination of finance, leadership and education skills that will not only strengthen our governance, but also support us in promoting social mobility within STEM pathways.
Angela says, “I am delighted to have joined the Spectris Foundation Board and look forward to learning more about the fantastic charity partners that we support. It is vital that underrepresented groups have the opportunity to benefit from STEM education and together, with our partners, I believe we can have a significant impact in making this happen.”
Please join us in welcoming Angela to the Spectris Foundation Board!
