  • CASE STUDY Norman Stoller CBE Kstj DL
    CASE STUDY Norman Stoller CBE KStJ DL Norman Stoller and his team built Seton Healthcare (SSL International PLC), inventors of the tubular bandage, into a worldwide brand and one of Oldham’s biggest employers. Through the Stoller Charitable Trust, he has dedicated over 30 years to philanthropy in the North West and beyond. In the period February 2014 to end of June 2015, The Stoller Charitable Trust pledged just over £47M of which just over £7M has been drawn down. Among numerous honours, Norman was appointed High Sheriff of Greater Manchester 1999/2000, is a Life President of the Oldham Chamber of Commerce, and was granted Freedom of the Borough of Oldham in 2008. He was recently inaugurated into The Langworthy Circle at the University of Manchester, which recognises individuals who have committed over £1 million to the University, and named North-West Business Masters Ambassador 2015. Norman lives with his wife, Sheila, on the shores of Lake Windermere in Cumbria. Q: You registered the Stoller Charitable Trust in 1982 – was that the start of your philanthropy? No, when I was 36 or 37, with very little in my pocket, my friends and I still found time to do things for other people. It wasn’t a question of giving away money, it was about doing things, which is much more important. My next door neighbour started what was called the Frank Salisbury Fund for Needy Children, and a group of us got together with him to help children in need. And when Frank Salisbury died, I was asked to take it over.

  • Annual General Meeting Opens in New Window
    The Cathedral, Collegiate and Parish Church of St Mary, St Denys & St George in Manchester Minutes of the Annual General Meeting Held Sunday 11th May 2014 in the Cathedral Chairman: The Dean Secretary: Jennifer Curtis 1) Minutes and matters arising The minutes of the meeting on 28th April 2013 were signed by the Dean as a true record. Margaret Williamson pointed out that an election of Cathedral Council members should have been included in the 2014 AGM. The Dean agreed and said this would be dealt with later. 2) Election of Officers a) Deanery Synod Members The Dean explained that the cathedral lies geographically within the Hulme Deanery but that, as the mother church of the diocese, it does not align itself with the activities of any one deanery. However, it does send three representatives, each elected for a three year term, to be members of Hulme Deanery Synod. He invited Sylvester During, as an existing member, to explain briefly the work of the Synod. One nomination had been received for the vacancy. As there were no further nominations Basil Fox was declared elected for a three year term. b) Cathedral Community Committee Members The Dean thanked Jennifer Devans and Nick Johnson for their work as chairman and secretary for the past year. Jennifer was standing down as chairman but he was pleased that she would remain a Committee member. Agneta Koenraads and Anthony Williams were not seeking re-election to the committee. The Dean thanked them for their valuable contributions to the work of the group. Four nominations had been received.
