Biography

Tim Skelton, PIC Committee member

Tim Skelton graduated from London University with a degree in Agriculture Economics. He joined the Cooperative Wholesale Society as a graduate trainee and became an Estate Manager in 1974. He was responsible for the management of a large dairy farming unit in Lancashire and a mixed dairy and arable estate in Shropshire.

In 1982 Tim joined Whitbread initially in East Anglia and then moved to London running a number of large public houses. He was then appointed Development Director and took on a national responsibility for developing new leisure retail outlets. In 1992 he joined the NHS and took on a variety of Chief Executive posts in large General Hospitals, Community Trusts and an Ambulance Trust.

Since retiring from full time employment in 2007 Tim has been pursuing a portfolio career with lay member appointments to the Judicial Appointments Committee, the Nursing and Midwifery Council, the General Dental Council and NHS England. During this time he has also been a Non Executive Director of an NHS Trust in Oxfordshire and a Chair of a Probation Board in Dorset.
