Ms Teasdale, currently FSC UK deputy director, will succeed the incumbent director, Charles Thwaites, in March.
“With a background in conservation biology, Rosie brings a wealth of experience from her eight years at FSC UK and in the wider FSC international network, which has included work on international communications, branding, and co-ordinating FSC Friday events around the world, together with the FSC UK team,” said FSC UK chair Meriel Robson.
During his tenure, Mr Thwaites, who will retire at the end of March, has ensured FSC UK’s financial security and international standing and served on the UKWAS Steering Group.
