The managing director of Caerphilly-based Direct Healthcare Services has been appointed chairman of a specialist wound care charity.
Graham Ewart has joined the board of trustees at Welsh charity Woundcare4Heroes.
Mr Ewart said: “It’s an exciting prospect to be appointed as the new chair of Woundcare4Heroes. Direct Healthcare Services works closely with wound care specialists and it is therefore an honour to work with a charity committed to delivering the best services to wounded veterans in need.
“I am looking forward to playing a crucial role in achieving the charity’s goals.”
Woundcare4Heroes was founded in 2012 to help develop a national network of complex wound management services and raise funds for specialist NHS care facilities needed to help military veterans who require long-term wound care.
The charity’s founder and CEO, Claire Stephens, said Mr Ewart’s commercial experience will ensure it meets its financial and strategic goals.
She said: “We have built significant momentum over the past 20 months and are now in a transitional phase of becoming extremely busy setting up facilities and outreach services. The charity has fast evolved into a significantly different organisation, requiring key business skills at board level to aid our future growth and development.”
