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.
Today marks the 75th year of our return to Witley, having left the school site for the war effort back in 1941. May 5th 1949, the boys from the Waterloo train arrived at the station, fell in on parade and, led by the Head, marched briskly up the Hill. The school and many of the houses round it were decked with bunting and flags and the school flag was raised on the Edward Tower. Enjoy some pictures of the school site in Hambledon, home for 8 years, and the welcome return back to KESW. #BridewellFamily...
