After three years as Chief Executive of The British Horse Society (BHS), Kay Driver is moving on to lead another animal charity and will leave the BHS at the end of March.

During Kay's time in office the BHS has seen a marked turnaround in its financial position, begun to replenish reserves, seen membership grow sharply and raised its national political profile and influence.

Mrs Driver said, "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the BHS and was fortunate to work with a forward-looking Chairman and Trustees. We have an effective staff team and have invested in new services for members. The invitation to move north of the Border and lead the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is exciting and challenging. I look forward to building on current friendships and making new ones in delivering this important role."
