DAVID Wilson, managing partner for Begbies Traynor in the North East, has been appointed chairman of the Yorkshire Region of the Variety Club Children’s Charity.

He has been a full-time insolvency practitioner since 1979, both with medium and larger practices.

He was a partner with an international firm of accountants before the 1989 formation of Wilson Pitts with business partner Julian Pitts. Begbies Traynor acquired Wilson Pitts in June, 2006.

A member of the Variety Club Yorkshire committee for nine years, David has been vice chairman and also chairman of the charity’s Sunshine Coach Committee and organised a ball which raised £60,000.

He has also been involved in visiting families with disabled children, organisations, schools and hospitals who appeal to the Variety Club for funding to buy a wide range of equipment including sunshine coaches and wheelchairs.
