Price Bailey announced the appointment of new members to its Governance Board to expand the firm's leadership structure [1].

The expansion aims to integrate a wider range of professional skills into the firm's oversight process. By diversifying the board's expertise, the firm intends to create a strategic framework capable of driving long-term growth [2].

The Governance Board now consists of eight members [1]. The newly appointed group includes Chand Chudasama, who serves as Chair, and Martin Clapson, the Managing Director. Other key additions to the board include Paul Cullen, the Finance Director, and Richard Vass, the Head of Audit and Assurance [1].

These appointments place critical operational roles, such as finance and audit leadership, directly into the governance layer of the organization. This alignment is designed to ensure that the firm's daily management and its long-term strategic goals remain synchronized [2].

Price Bailey did not provide specific details regarding the previous size of the board prior to this expansion. However, the addition of these executives marks a shift toward a more comprehensive governance model. The firm said that the expanded board will bring diverse skills to the table to support its scaling objectives [2].

The Governance Board will now consist of eight members.

The integration of the Finance Director and Head of Audit into the Governance Board suggests a move toward tighter internal controls and more rigorous financial oversight. By expanding the board to eight members, Price Bailey is positioning itself for scaling by ensuring that executive operational expertise informs its highest level of corporate governance.
