I was born in Scotland in 1949. I attended University in Aberdeen, graduating with a BSc and doctorate in Biochemistry. After a short period in academia, I joined Glaxo where I stayed for 23 years, working in new drug development and regulatory affairs. I headed up Glaxo’s project management function for 13 of these years and led the development of four major new medicines. When Glaxo and Wellcome merged to form GlaxoWellcome, I became Director of International Regulatory Affairs. Throughout my time in pharmaceuticals, I travelled widely and developed a love of travel and food. My wife, Sylvia and I continue to follow these affections!

On leaving GW on the merger with SmithKline, I worked for the Vice Chancellor of Imperial College, again largely in Project Management roles and as “speech writer”. After 8 years, I moved to Oxford University, where I managed a fund of University money set aside for investment in new technology-based start-up companies. I retired a few years ago but remain a director of a cancer diagnostic company in Oxford.

Sylvia and I live in Englefield Green. We have two children and two grandchildren.

I was born in 1939 in Isleworth Middlesex where I spent all my childhood, and was educated at the local primary and secondary school which I left when I was 15 to work in my father’s building business. I attended Twickenham Tec. Where I completed my apprenticeship in painting and decorating.

In 1967 I started my own firm which I ran through good times and bad until I finally retired in 2020.

I have always enjoyed sport and spent most of my free time playing football until 1981 when I decided to take up running and completed the first London Marathon.

I joined firstly Hounslow Running Club and then Runnymede Runners and took part in many races from 5k to marathons until my poor old knees gave up, and so I took on the role of event organiser for the club, which keeps me in contact with young people and running events.

I joined Round Table in 1966 and then Rotary in 1981 and took part in many fund-raising events and made many happy memories, and am now enjoying belonging to Windsor Probus.

With the discovery of oil and gas in the North Sea in 1974, I joined a company of 10 people called Protech International just starting up in this fledgling industry. Over the next 25 years I went up the ranks to become Managing Director with some 10 subsidiary companies set up all over the world wherever oil and gas was produced, with a peak of over 750 employees.

In 1999 I assisted in selling the company and took early retirement at the age of 57. I retrained as a magistrate and was a Chairman of the bench until mandatory retirement at 70. We have two adult children, a vet and a solicitor and four grandchildren and spend our retirement in amateur dramatics, travelling, gardening and catching up with family and friends.
