Animal welfare charity appoints Jeremy Cooper

On Monday 4 April, current RSPCA director of corporate development, Jeremy Cooper, will become the chief executive of Britain’s biggest animal welfare charity.

Mr Cooper, a lifelong dog owner and animal lover, spent nearly three years as the chief executive of RSPCA Assured - formerly known as Freedom Food. He also has over thirty years' experience in the retail, commercial and not-for-profit sector.

He said: “I want to continue the process of ensuring the RSPCA is a modern, outward looking organisation with a clear purpose and built on strong values.”

“We’ve been around nearly 190 years already, and I want to tap into the talent and passion already within the Society to ensure we can carry on for as long as cruelty to animals exists.”

Jeremy Cooper, who grew up on a dairy farm and served in the Royal Air Force for nearly ten years, has a long history with animals, and considers his Airedale Terrier “the most important part of the family”.

RSPCA chairman Daphne Harris said: “I am delighted to have someone of Jeremy’s calibre accept the role of chief executive and hopefully lead the RSPCA into a strong and successful era”.

The RSPCA’s acting chief executive David Canavan will continue in his role as RSPCA trustee and society vice-chairman when Jeremy Cooper takes over.
