SeeAbility chief David Scott-Ralphs to leave

After 13 years at the helm SeeAbility chief executive David Scott-Ralphs has decided to leave his role as of September.

His replacement will be Lisa Hopkins, currently managing director at support provider Dimensions UK, one of the country’s leading support providers for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs.

Last year SeeAbility was awarded the first General Ophthalmic Service (GOS) contract to provide a sight testing service in special schools.

James Deeley, SeeAbility chairman of trustees, said: ‘SeeAbility has flourished under David’s leadership and I would like to thank him on behalf of the whole organisation for his tremendous efforts and achievements. We are delighted to welcome Lisa as our new chief executive. She has the right values, skills and experience to ensure SeeAbility realises its full potential over the coming years.’
