Trustees

The Foundation is very fortunate to have a dedicated Board of Trustees, with a wealth of knowledge and experience across a variety of sectors including education, business, and law.

They give very generously of their time and are focused on acting in the very best interests of the Foundation.

From time to time we look to recruit new members to the Board of Trustees, if you would be interested in finding out more about this please visit the 'Join Us' page by clicking here or email foundationoffice@princethorpe.co.uk for an informal discussion.

What is it like being a Trustee? 

 

Rowland Johnson

I joined as a trustee back in May 2023, prior to that I had been Chair of the Development Board, lending a hand with the fundraising side of the organisation. My very first understanding of the Foundation however was as a parent, all four of my children have attended Crackley Hall and Princethorpe, two of them still attend the College.

Prior to my personal involvement I had very much seen the Foundation through the lens of my children and their experiences, but I must say now having had a greater insight into how the organisation is run, I have been blown away by how professional, business like and strategic it is. Independent education is certainly no sleepy back water.

I have felt really welcomed by my fellow trustees and the senior team, the atmosphere is very collaborative, and you are really encouraged to get involved as much as you are able. I serve on the IT and Finance Committees and the Sustainability Board, reflecting my business background, skills and interests.

With the IT Committee I am currently focused on a review of the relevance of AI to the Foundation and how this can best be harnessed to positive effect. It is great to be involved in some cutting-edge thinking and to feel like I am making a real impact. I can really say it is a privilege to play my part in supporting an organisation that I really believe in.

    Qualifications:

    B.COM Accounting, MSocSc Business & Finance, Birmingham University

    Profile:

    I was founder and CEO of Nettitude, an international cyber security company, that was formed in Warwickshire in 2003.  I stepped down from this role in 2021, after is was acquired by Lloyds Register and then Goldman Sachs.  Since this date, I have taken on a series of Non Exec and Chairman roles, and I am President of CREST, a not for profit organisation that is focused on building capability,  capacity and consistency in the cyber workforce.

    I have a real sense of creativity and innovation, and love to be involved in building things, whether that is houses, businesses or cars.  In more recent years, farming has provided a great balance to corporate life, and it is something I am able to get actively involved in with my family.  I love adventure and fitness, and have trekked to Everest basecamp, as well as the summit of Kilimanjaro.

    I am married to Kerry, and we have 4 children, all of whom are, or have been, part of the Princethorpe foundation.  The experience in both Crackley Hall and Princethorpe College has been exceptional and I am delighted to have an opportunity to support the foundation, in the capacity of Trustee.
