Staff

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 have had a wide and interesting 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 become 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 and head of Chaplaincy, focusing on Catholic Life.

Throughout all my adult life I have been a Cadet Force Adult Volunteer (CFAV), gaining my commission has a Royal Naval Reserve Officer in the Sea Cadet Corps. My passions and interests are: education; history and politics; military and; the maritime industry. My whole life has been striving to improve the lives of those around me.

I joined the Honourable Company's mentoring scheme back in January 2019 as an Associate. Prior to joining the company as member of staff, I completed a BSc (Hons) degree alongside my cadetship at the University of Plymouth. Upon qualifying, I completed a number of agency trips as OOW before settling as a permanent OOW with a dredging company on the South coast of the UK. I have also worked within the harbour vessel sector in both the Bristol Channel and the Port of Plymouth.

Much of my spare time outside of work is taken up by my volunteering role within the RNLI and spending time with both family and friends.

My duties are to welcome members and guests onboard and to manage the front of house area, asking you to sign in and direct you to your meeting room or onboard event.

I look after all the IT equipment onboard as well as the management of the maintenance budget. I also monitor the Health & Safety onboard, ensuring all the routine checks are carried out and risk assessments are up-to-date. When I'm not fixing the Ship, I'm either burning food on the BBQ or trying to become the second best player on Call of Duty.

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. 

I serve on six committees/sub-committees of the Company.  Although I have no seagoing experience, I have at least 22 Admirals in my family history. I was appointed Honorary Almoner in April 2021 where I 'look after' our Senior Members and related matters.

I belong to four other Livery Companies (including the UK’s only Royal one!) and was Master Arbitrator in 2011-12.
