Philip Tucker has been elected to be Chair of Five Lamps. The Thornaby-based social enterprise has enjoyed a period of sustained growth in the last few years.

Mr Tucker said “I am delighted to have the opportunity to make a considerable contribution to the ongoing success of Five Lamps. Along with my Trustee colleagues I am thrilled by our recent recognition in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work list, which builds on the Investors in People Gold award achieved in the autumn. We have a first class team of great staff who are committed to delivering high quality services which change lives throughout the North East”. 

He added, “We are looking forward to growing our sector-leading financial inclusion activities and have a range of other exciting service developments in the pipeline”. 

Terry Murphy, Five Lamps previous Chair, has now left the Board. Mr Tucker said “The Board thanks him for his contribution to the considerable progress made during his association with Five Lamps since 2004”.
