Mark Bishop appointed as CEO at Scottish SPCA

FWB are delighted to have partnered with the Scottish SPCA (SSPCA) to advise on the appointment of their next CEO – Mark Bishop.

Mark brings extensive experience from the charity and heritage sectors, including his current role as CEO of Dynamic Earth, and previous senior roles at the National Trust for Scotland and Prostate Cancer UK.

Commenting on the appointment from FWB, Ailsa Sutherland noted:

“We are so delighted to have had the opportunity to support the SSPCA in this critical hire and wish Mark and the team at SSPCA all the very best for a bright and exciting 2025 and beyond!”

Fiona MacLeod, Board Chair of the Scottish SPCA said:

“Mark was a stand out choice for CEO. He is a passionate supporter of animal welfare with a strong interest in science and the environment. He joins the Scottish SPCA at a time of rising need and opportunity. He brings proven people leadership and deep expertise in marketing, fundraising and business delivery.”

Mark Bishop added:

“I’m delighted to be joining a charity that’s so well known and loved across Scotland. As an animal lover, I care deeply about the wellbeing of all animals. What makes the Scottish SPCA so special is its protection of all animals, for all reasons, at all times. The charity is evolving its approach to focus not only on rescue but on prevention, working with people and partners to create lasting change and that’s an inspiring journey to be a part of.”

FWB are proud to have supported SSPCA in Mark’s critical appointment, who will lead the company to continue to deliver on their bold vision: making Scotland the best place in the world for animal to call home. We wish Mark, Fiona, and all the SSPCA team every success going forward.
