People
growing GTC
We love people and Cornwall has some awesome people to love.
Growing a company requires just the right conditions but that's not enough. You need the right ideas, knowledge, skills and expertise.
Meet our wonderful Board of Directors.
Louise Danks
is an experienced horticulturalist and educator. Currently, she is Learning and Content Manager at the Royal Horticultural Society, Louise is graduate of the Royal Botanical Gardens Kew and Chelsea gold medallist. Louise is also the curator of the National Dahlia Collection at Kehelland.
Ian Dean
is Deputy Director of Finance at Cornwall NHS Trust, and a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
Tom Knight
is an educator and gardener. Having founded Growing Together Cornwall CIC in 2019, Tom found a global pandemic and a cancer diagnosis a little disruptive but certainly not enough to stop his passion for growing and people. Tom has taught in Malawi and China, before which he was an actor and a pyrotechnician.
Kate MacArthur
is an experienced youth worker with a particular interest in encouraging young people to explore outdoors. Kate is the founder and director of the youth organisation, West Steren CIC.
Dave Ruse
Dave has recently stepped down as a board member as he begins to relax into a well deserved retirement. We would like to thank Dave for all his efforts and support. Dave was instrumental in getting Growing Together Cornwall CIC started. Thank you Dave Ruse - legend in his own lifetime!
