MEMBER NEWS Trades House appointment
History in the making
Ruth Maltman, Deacon Convener, and Dr Alistair Dorward, Collector, Trades House of Glasgow
Ruth Maltman made history when she became the first female to lead the Trades House of Glasgow as its Deacon Convener since it was established in 1605. Ruth, a civil servant, holds the role until October 2016, along with that of Third Citizen of Glasgow. Dr Alistair Dorward took up the post as Collector, which will see him serve alongside Ruth on the Platform. This is the executive committee of volunteers who deal with the day-to-day running of the Trades House, alongside Chief Executive and Clerk John Gilchrist and the administration team. Ruth’s election was the result
of a voting process, also a first for this historic organisation, which is now a registered charity widely viewed as a centre of excellence in the administration of trusts and legacies in excess of £18 million. The Trades House and its
14 Incorporated Crafts also award more than £650,000 in grants each year to deserving causes and vulnerable individuals throughout Glasgow.
