Claridge said: “I have had first-hand experience of the excellent work the organisation delivers to support positive change in how Scotland’s places are created, adapted and sustained. I am grateful for the opportunity to champion the role of design in improving people’s lives and supporting joined-up approaches to effectively tackle Scotland’s climate, inequality, health and wellbeing challenges. I look forward to working with the staff, board and partners.”
