SaRS Makes New Board Appointments at AGM

We held the Safety and Reliability Society 2025 AGM on Tuesday 18th November, and we are very pleased to announce new appointments to both our Trustee Board and to SaRS National Council.

We will introduce our new officers individually over the next weeks, but first we would like to thank our Phil Lang for his term as Chair – Phil will stay on the board as outgoing Chair and continue in his role as Chair of SaRS Digital Media Committee and Branch Representative – and introduce our newest additions to the committees.

Louise Wilson continues as President at the AGM. Louise has served on Council and recently as Chair.

Joanne Lewis took the SaRS Chair, and thanked Phil Lang for his year as Chair.

Seyi Weli  joined the board as a trustee and director and Chair Elect.

The meeting thanks Chris Harrison for his term – Chris will continue as Editor in Chief if the Safety and Reliability Journal.

Peter Stanton remains Finance Director.

There are two new additions to SaRS Council. Ben Buchanan was co-opted during the year and Sam Jelley Shaikh returns to Council for a term of three years.

SaRS welcomes everyone to their new terms of office, and thanks everyone who volunteers on SaRS committees, working groups and everyone who attends webinars and reads the Safety and Reliability Journal.

But most of all we want to thank our Members and Affiliate Organisation for their support – SaRS belongs to you and we continue to work to disseminate knowledge about safety and reliability and bring you opportunities for continuing professional development.
