The Clerk - S. Hanlon Esq., BA (Hons)
I started working for the Honourable Company in January 2019 as the new Chartered Master Mariner Registrar.
I became a member in February 2019, and in August 2020, I had the great honour of being appointed the new Learned Clerk to the Company. Before arriving at HCMM, I had a broad and exciting scope of experiences. After Sixth Form, I went into the Crown Prosecution Service, Gloucestershire, as a caseworker in the Trials Unit. In 2019 I enrolled at Swansea University, reading history. During university, I got accepted into the University Royal Naval Unit, Wales, later becoming the Senior Midshipman of Wales. I deployed four times with HMS Express and experienced life and service in the Royal Navy. After graduating with a 2:1 Honours degree, I became a qualified teacher of history, government & politics and religious education. After two years in Gloucester, I moved to Central London, where I taught at a catholic school in East London and would later become head of Chaplaincy, focusing on Catholic Life.
Throughout my adult life, I have been a Cadet Force Adult Volunteer (CFAV), gaining my commission as a Royal Naval Reserve Officer in the Sea Cadet Corps. My passions and interests are education, history and politics, the military and the maritime industry. My whole life has been striving to improve the lives of those around me.

Honorary Chaplain - The Reverend Reginald Sweet BA. RN
Honorary Chaplain - The Reverend Reginald Sweet BA. RN
I was invited to join by Commodore Tony Barrett when he was Master - whatever year that was in the early nineties! I was delighted to accept as my background has been almost totally with the maritime world.
I first joined the Royal Navy in 1951 as a communicator serving for nearly ten years in COMINT. I left to train for Ordination at Oxford returning to the RN in 1965. Apart from a short break in the RNR I served until being retired on age in 1992. My last full appointment was being seconded to the RFAs for three years where I learnt the Merchant Navy way of life!
On leaving the RN I was appointed as Senior Chaplain at the Missions to Seamen in Southampton from 1993 until 1999 when I reached retirement age. In retirement I became firstly Chaplain and then Master of The Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty in Winchester (a medieval foundation for housing 24 poor and derelict men).
Meanwhile I continued my maritime connections as Chaplain to the Anchorites, the RFAA, and the Southampton Master Mariners (the Cachelots) as well as the HCMM. My interests/hobbies are painting in oils, tennis and golf.
