Ms Hogg is currently chief executive of Friends of ANCHOR – a charity dedicated to supporting cancer and haematology patients in the North of Scotland.

She also serves as a trustee of the Milne Family Foundation, a charitable organisation founded by her father, Sir James Milne, who is the chairman and managing director of Balmoral Group.

Sir Milne said: “I am delighted to welcome Sarah onto the Balmoral Group board as a non-executive director.

“Her appointment will provide her with an in-depth understanding of how the group operates, ensuring we continue to support both Friends of ANCHOR and The Milne Family Foundation well into the future.

“Sarah’s extensive experience in public engagement will offer the Balmoral Group Board a fresh perspective as we continue to diversify our operations.”

Ms Hogg added: “Balmoral Group has always been a significant part of family life, and I am excited to join the Board and be actively involved in the business.

“It is crucial that the Balmoral Group Board encompasses a wide range of experiences beyond its traditional manufacturing background, especially as we embark on new ventures such as the recent acquisition of The Marcliffe Hotel and Spa.”
