Gareth Thomas

"As Retail Director and longest serving Board member of John Lewis, Gareth steered the department store group to win every major sector and service award by the time he left in April 2010. He is now a director of Naturepaint Ltd., and Total Retail Concepts. He worked in a Non-Executive capacity for the British Heart Foundation between 2003 and 2006, and was appointed to the Board of Save the Children UK in 2005. Memories of his childhood spent in East Africa left a big impression of the huge divide between children born with and without so much. Gareth was appointed to the main Board of Tate in April 2010 and in addition, he now Chairs the Board of Tate Enterprise Ltd and the Tate St Ives Advisory Council."
