As the newly appointed Chair at Little Miracles Iain’s first contact with Little Miracles was through interviewing Michelle for a Business Awards entry and then an involvement with business coaching sessions through the Allia Grow Your Business programme. Next step was an invitation to join the Board of Trustees and now honoured to be appointed as Chair of this amazing charity.
