Chair

Robin brings more than 20 years of experience in public service, including 15 years in senior leadership roles at Luton Council. He was appointed Chief Executive of the council in 2019, where he led the delivery of Luton 2040, an ambitious vision to create a town where everyone can thrive, and no one lives in poverty. His leadership focused on community empowerment, partnership working, and reducing inequality.

Robin was appointed as Chair of the ICB in May 2025, having served as a Board member since July 2022. During this time, he made significant contributions to NHS service planning, resource allocation, and integrated system leadership across the region.

He is deeply committed to the integration of health and care services, and to tackling health inequalities that exist across Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes. As a local resident, Robin is passionate about improving outcomes for the communities he lives in and serves
