The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Wales is pleased to announce the appointment of Colonel Dominic Morgan OBE as its new Chief Executive.

Colonel Morgan is due to take up the post on the 1st of July 2021, when he will replace Colonel Nick Beard TD DL who retires at the end of June after almost 19 years at Maindy Barracks, Cardiff.

Joining the Association after a career in the British Army, Colonel Morgan’s service has included various staff roles within Brigade, Divisional, Army and Defence Headquarters with his most recent role having been the British Defence Attaché in Warsaw. He has served on operations in Afghanistan, the Former Yugoslavia and in the UK.

Dominic, who began his time in uniform as an army cadet, is looking forward to taking up his new role in Wales and is proud of his Welsh military heritage.  His great grandfather lived in Welshpool and served in the Rifle Brigade during WW1.  His grandfather was a miner at Maerdy Colliery before enlisting into the Army.

He said,

“I am delighted to have been appointed as the new Chief Executive of the Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Wales. I am looking forward to taking up this new challenge and helping to make a difference across a broad range of the Association’s outputs including engaging with the public, communities, businesses and local government on Defence’s behalf.”

Chairman of the Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Wales, Brigadier Russ Wardle OBE DL said,

“I would like to give a huge vote of thanks to Colonel Nick Beard on behalf of the Board, the membership and the staff at RFCA for Wales for all he has done over the past nearly 19 years in furthering the goals of the Association.

“Nick has done an outstanding job and along the way earned the respect of both uniformed commanders and community leaders. I wish him and his family all the very best for the future on his retirement in June.”

“As we bid Nick farewell, I wish to congratulate Dominic Morgan on his appointment.”

Colonel Beard said,

“It has been a great privilege to head up an organisation that I believe has met its remit and done its very best for its customers. The Association could not have achieved so much without such supportive and enthusiastic staff be it serving in the Secretariat at Cardiff or Mold or as a member of the Permanent Support Staff in the Army Cadet Force. It has been a pleasure to work with such a committed team. I too wish to congratulate Dominic on his appointment and wish him every success for the future.”
