Northern 3 VCT ( (GB:NTN) ) has provided an announcement.

Northern 3 VCT PLC has appointed James (Jamie) Younger as a non-executive director and member of its audit, nomination and management engagement committees, effective 13 February 2026. Younger, an ICAS-qualified audit and business advisory partner at Saffery LLP and a Chartered Tax Advisor experienced with listed investment trusts and VCT tax rules, will also become Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee following the planned retirement of non-executive director Chris Fleetwood at the AGM later this year.

The board change strengthens Northern 3 VCT’s governance and audit capabilities by bringing in a senior practitioner with extensive experience in corporate governance, internal controls and tax matters relevant to VCTs. Fleetwood’s exit and Younger’s succession to the audit chair role signal an orderly transition in board leadership that is likely to support regulatory compliance, risk management and investor confidence in the trust’s oversight framework.
