Tell us a little about your time at King Edward's Witley?
I attended King Edward’s Witley between 1962 and 1967 in Wakefield House under the watchful eye of Housemaster Mr Hoad. I made lifelong friends during my time there and dedicated many years after leaving KESW to being the Chair of the Old Witleian’s Association back in the day.
Although I was a hopeless academic, I enjoyed all the sports on offer, especially the shooting club, with many a fond memory of being down the range in the shed near Culmer.
What did life after school hold?
My career led me to the military and then government service. I also built a successful global company with my wife, and worked as a consultant to various companies. I undertake less work now but I am a current ambassador for Rolls Royce Motor Cars. I’m also married and have brought up three lovely children.
