Meet our Trustees: Niki Brooks-Coppard

As a People Director, Niki’s career has spanned multiple industries including retail, healthcare, charity and food and beverage, including LloydsPharmacy, Marie Curie and Costa Coffee.

The Blue Cross Trustee role combines her professional knowledge and experience with her passion for the welfare and care of animals.

Having grown up with a variety of pets including cats, dogs and rabbits (and the odd rescue hedgehog!), she spent many Easter holidays tending orphaned lambs at her family’s farm in Scotland. She has increasingly combined her immense love of travelling with her equally passionate attachment to animals and has visited many countries to watch, photograph and generally learn about the lives, plights and conservation of wildlife across the globe.

At home, Niki and her husband Will, love to take their 100mph couch potato lurcher for country walks. Having been rescued early in life, Warrick shows no sign of any concerns about his history!

Niki joined the Board in January 2020 and sits on the Finance and Support Committee.
