Our Trustee Robert Winder wrote an op-ed in the Guardian responding to the riots referencing the Migration Museum and our work.
We’re delighted to welcome Rob Pierre onto our Board of Trustees.
Rob is an investor, advisor, and one of the UK’s most successful media leaders and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our board which will be invaluable as we deliver our ambitious plans to create a permanent Migration Museum for Britain.
Welcome on board, Rob!
We sat down with Rob to find out a bit more about his personal and professional journey – and why the Migration Museum’s mission matters – and resonates so deeply.
