Kay Catherine Sheila Hilary Linnell is a charity trustee on the Charity Commission register and a current or former company officer on the Companies House register (born September 1954, British nationality, as published by Companies House). This profile covers public roles only. Companies House officer ID: Zp1MFzezy167O3ggf6aykI9wyr4. Charity Commission trustee ID: 1136771. The Charity Commission and Companies House records are combined because the same name appears as trustee and as director of the same charitable company.[1]

Education

  • MBA, University of Sheffield (studied 1988); PhD, University of Portsmouth (2024); trained as an articled clerk in Derby and qualified as a chartered accountant (ICAEW, 1979).[1][2] Likely the same person as the trustee: the register also lists her as a trustee of The Charity of the Worshipful Company of Arbitrators, and the biographies describe her as a Past Master of that company.
