  • Sir Mick Davis

The former chief executive of the Xstrata mining company until its merger with Glencore in 2013, Sir Mick, who was knighted in 2015, is the current chief executive of the Conservative Party. In 2009, he became chair of the JLC’s board of trustees, a position he held until last year.

  • Stephen Pack

A current JLC trustee, Mr Pack served as president of the United Synagogue from 2011 to 2017 and, as the leader of a JLC member organisation, sat on its council of membership during that time. He has been involved with the JLC since at least 2009 through its sub-committee on Jewish Schools, now known as PaJeS.

  • Bill Benjamin

Chair of the UJIA from 2013 until handing over the reins last month, Mr Benjamin is also on the JLC’s board of trustees. From 2008 to 2012, he served as co-chairman of the Assembly of Masorti Synagogues (now Masorti Judaism), another JLC member organisation.

  • Nigel Layton

Since October 2013, Mr Layton has worked as a partner in KPMG’s forensic risk consulting practice, specialising in Anti Bribery and Corruption, Integrity Due Diligence, and Fraud Risk Management. He was a JLC trustee at the time of Mr Newmark’s departure.
