National Motor Museum

The National Motor Museum (NMM) at Beaulieu holds a world class collection, telling the story of motoring in Great Britain. Over 280 vehicles, including F1 cars and land speed record holders, are displayed at this renowned independent museum set within the grounds of the Beaulieu visitor attraction. Originally established within Palace House in 1952 by Edward, Lord Montagu, the Montagu Motor Museum displayed a collection of cars put together in recognition of the role of his late father, John Montagu, as a British motoring pioneer.

The success of this museum, and the significant growth of its collections, led to it being reconstituted in 1972 as the National Motor Museum Trust and re-housed in a purpose-built museum building. The Trust remains an independent charitable trust and is part of an international group for the leading national motor museums. It is dedicated to preserving and promoting motoring history and has a world-famous collection of vehicles and associated motoring items.

NMM is now looking to recruit a Chair of the Board of Trustees and is keen to hear from dynamic and engaged people with a keen interest in supporting our vision and mission. As the NMM celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022, it is embarking on an ambitious strategy to reposition itself for the future regarding its collections and its engagement with audiences, and on a significant new phase of development. The role of Chair of the Board of Trustees is vital to the successful and sustainable implementation of these objectives. Whether you are an experienced Chair or want to take your next step at Board level, we are keen to hear from you.
