Sarah Brewin - Trustee

Sarah Brewin

Born in the North East, Sarah went to school in Oxford, before attending Durham University to study Geography. Not really fancying a "9 til 5" job, she then joined the Royal Air Force. A chartered management accountant and certified project and programme manager, she has primarily worked in facilities management, project management and capital investment roles, across the UK and internationally, including Ascension Island in the South Atlantic and all across the Broader Middle East.

Most recently, she ran the Royal Air Force's property and infrastructure management team, responsible for supporting over 29 sites and 35 runways. She now commands Royal Air Force Lossiemouth, one of the Royal Air Force's busiest and largest main operating bases, which is responsible for securing the seas and the skies of the United Kingdom and partners.

Out of work, Sarah is a keen mountaineer having spent over 15 years as part of the Royal Air Force's Mountain Rescue Service and is also fond of fell and trail running, wild swimming and general travelling. So much so, that she has relocated to the Lake District, so that she's never more than 30 mins from the fells! Nieces and nephews keep her on her toes, and she's lucky that her partner is equally into the great outdoors.
