Meet the RAFTers: Sam Laidlaw

At RAFT we are lucky to have Trustees who have the expertise and experience to make us even better at delivering research to patients.  One of these is a name that is familiar to many as the head of one of the UK’s largest gas companies - Centrica plc - but his charity work is not so well known.

Sam became an early supporter of RAFT (when he was Chief Executive of Amerada Hess) after attending a RAFT reception at 11 Downing Street. With a long career in the oil and gas industry where burn injuries are a potential hazard, his ability to attract support for our work is remarkable.

His support and praise of RAFT is humbling and appreciated.

“I am a passionate supporter of RAFT as I have seen first hand how the dedication of a special group of people has transformed the lives of so many.”
