We are thrilled to announce that Stuart Fox will be joining us in a couple of months as our new Director of Finance and Technology.
Stuart will officially join Magic Breakfast in June, at a key point for children and young people with the Children’s Wellbeing & School Bill being legislated, Bright Start Breakfasts scheduled to start in Scotland and the breakfast trial in English primary schools.
I am really looking forward to getting started and joining the team at Magic Breakfast. The clear vision that no child should be too hungry to learn really resonates with me and drove my interest in joining the organisation. An investment in children, is equally an investment in society and our shared future. Magic Breakfast is already making a huge impact, and it will be an honour to contribute my skills and experience to help drive that forward. It’s also an exciting moment to join, with school breakfast being both on the political agenda, and the value of Magic Breakfast’s work understood by parents, teachers and schools.”

Lindsey MacDonald, Chief Executive at Magic Breakfast, said: “I am delighted that Stuart will be joining Magic Breakfast as Director of Finance & Technology. Stuart brings a wealth of direct, relevant experience from his previous roles at major national charities, alongside his commercial experience in investment banking. Importantly, the work of Magic Breakfast resonates with Stuart’s values and his commitment to opportunity, equity, and health align closely with the work we do supporting children and young people daily. I am excited to start working alongside him drawing upon his skills and experience and together to further develop the reach and impact of Magic Breakfast.”
We are so thrilled to have Stuart taking on this position at such a key time for Magic Breakfast.
