Graves, who is to step down at the end of April, said: “What we have achieved at Tudor over the years has been remarkable and owes much to dedicated trustees and staff putting the needs of applicants first. I really believe Tudor has an exciting future ahead of it with new people developing new avenues for Tudor to explore.”
