BBC Pensioners' Association appoints new chairman

David Allen has become chairman of the BBC Pensioners' Association. He succeeds Martin Cox, who has held the post for three years.

Until his retirement from the BBC nine years ago, David was executive producer of a range of programmes and as editor of the BBC Computer Literacy Project 1982-1986 he won seven awards. He now makes documentaries for BBC R&D and for Historic Royal Palaces.

He says : "The association has had a long line of excellent chairman and chairwomen over the years. Some, like the redoubtable Brenda Horsfield,Tom Rivers and Martin Cox (who stood down just recently) are happily still with us on the committee.

"My own aims for the association are for us to continue as a watchdog, early-warning system and advocate for those with BBC pensions and to act as the only organised voice of pensioners to the Corporation.

"As the BBC Historian, Jean Seaton, says, we as a group hold much of the 'memory capital' of the BBC and one of my aims is to encourage the Corporation to value and tap into this knowledge, rather than ignore us."

"The BBC and we as a country are entering choppy - some say perilous, certainly unknown - waters. Our own pension fund is still pretty buoyant and long may it remain so, but the prospects for the future look uncertain for many, and we as an organisation need to stay, as ever, vigilant".
