3 February 2011
Transport Secretary, Philip Hammond, has re-appointed Dr Catherine Bell as a Non-Executive Director of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for a further three years from 1 April 2011.
Dr Bell has been a member of the CAA Board since April 2006, after a career in the civil service. At the CAA, her work has included Chairing the Remuneration Committee and membership of the NATS Ltd Price Control Panel. She has also played an important role in implementing the changes to the corporate governance of the CAA recommended in Sir Joseph Pilling’s 2008 strategic review.
Dr Bell’s time commitment to the CAA will reduce from the present two days per week to one, in line with other Non-Executive Members of the Authority. There will be a corresponding reduction in her salary to £22,000 per annum, but with additional remuneration for Chairing committees and participation in appeals hearings.
In addition to her role at the CAA, Dr Bell is a Non-Executive Director of the United Utilities Group Plc and Ensus Ltd, and has recently been appointed as a Non-Executive Director at the Department of Health; she will receive a salary of £15,000 per annum for this role. She is also a Governor of the London School of Economics and Chair of the Investment Committee of the Civil Service Benevolent Fund; neither of these positions is remunerated.
