The WiB Group, a Northern Ireland umbrella body of social enterprises reaching more than 250,000 professionals across the region, has appointed international business leader Angela Moore as its new Chair as part of a strategic board expansion.

Aiken PR reported that Andrea McIlroy-Rose of Pinsent Masons and Stephen McCully, a non-executive director and former managing director at Power NI, have joined as co-Vice Chairs alongside the new Chair appointment.

Three new non-executive board members have also been appointed: Sandra Corkin of Oasis Travel, Tanya Martin of IQ&Co., and Joy Chambers, chief of staff at Allstate NI.

Moore holds board-level positions across a range of local and international organisations, including the North American Northern Ireland Advisory Council, Endeavour Ireland, the UCD Smurfit School Advisory Board and The American Ireland Fund.

Moore said: "I am honoured to take on the role of Chair at such a pivotal time. The Group and its four social enterprises have become a powerful force for positive change. By drawing on my global networks and experience, I look forward to working with the Board, our members, and our partners to build on that momentum. I would also like to extend my thanks to my predecessor Nichola Robinson for her leadership and continued support."

Roseann Kelly, chief executive of The WiB Group, said: "Angela, Andrea, and Stephen each bring exceptional insight and energy to the table. Together, they will play a vital role in shaping the direction of The WiB Group long into the future as we seek to maximise our impact on the local economy and society at large."
