Company of Animals founder and CEO, Dr Roger Mugford has announced he will be stepping down as CEO of the organisation this spring to grow his new venture, Animal Insights Limited.
Paul Nolan, formerly operations director at Company of Animals, will move into the role of CEO.
Mugford, who is a pioneer in animal behavioural therapy and a prolific animal welfare advocate, will continue to work closely with the organisation, which he founded in 1979.

“Company of Animals is an incredibly exciting and dynamic organisation and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to take on the role of CEO and build on the success of the business that Roger founded 40 years ago.”
