Christopher Samuel – Chair, BlackRock Throgmorton Trust Plc

“BlackRock Throgmorton is a FTSE 250 investment trust whose Board worked with Valerie in late 2023/early 2024 on a Board evaluation. At our request, this review not only involved meetings with all Board members and key members of the BlackRock Investment Trust team but also a wider list of BlackRock personnel including those on the investment side. This well managed and extensive evaluation produced a rich pool of insights which were clearly and concisely summarised for the Board.”
