Guild Care announce new CEO
Warren Fables has been named as the organisation’s new chief executive officer after Alex Brooks-Johnson left to pursue new challenges in the charity sector.
For the past eight years Fables has served as Guild Care’s chief financial officer although from the 6th September he will become the CEO.
Since joining as finance director in 2016, Fables has made invaluable contributions to the company and staff have expressed hope his determining efforts will continue. Guild Care have recently published their five-year strategic plan so his appointment arguably couldn’t have come at a better time.
Chair of Trustees, Peter Kinsey, said: ‘I am delighted to confirm that Warren Fabes has been appointed as our new CEO. Warren has been with Guild Care for eight years as our CFO and will now step up to be our new CEO following the departure of Alex Brooks-Johnson. Alex has been with Guild Care since 2018 and has worked together with Warren to guide the organisation through the pandemic and on to unprecedented success.’
Peter added: ‘We look forward to a bright future under Warren’s leadership as Guild Care continues to combat social isolation and social stigma in Worthing.’
In accepting his new role, Warren Fabes, CEO of Guild Care, said: ‘I would like to thank Guild Care’s Board of Trustees for their confidence in me and look forward to guiding the charity into its next chapter. Providing such a hugely diverse range of support and care services for vulnerable people is a responsibility my team and I take very seriously. We are fortunate to have a fantastic group of colleagues and volunteers dedicated to supporting people in need.’
Prior to becoming a member of Guild Care, Fables graduated from Cambridge with a degree in electronics engineering before becoming a qualified Chartered Accountant with KPMG. He spent over 20 years working in large national and international organisations as a finance director before finding the charity. Guild has since provided support to members of his family.
Former CEO Alex Brooks-Johnson said: ‘Leading Guild Care has been a very rewarding experience which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I would like to thank everyone in the organisation for the incredible work that they do. I know Guild Care is in extremely capable hands having worked so closely with Warren over the years, and wish everyone at Guild Care, and all the people they support, a bright future.’
