Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service has named Steven Underwood as CEO and the service also welcomes a new chair of the board of directors, John Fenwick, who assumes the role held previously by former chair John Davis.

Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service CEO Richard Jones says that 95 per cent of the population of New South Wales lives within one-hour flight time of a major hospital trauma centre, necessitating regional HEMS.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has meant that many businesses are unable to support charities as they once have, Sigma has committed to donate $5,000 worth of composite repairs to Westpac's maintenance team.
