Richard Evans

 

After a number of years in senior management in education, he moved into the charity sector, working as Development Director for the international HIV/AIDS charity ACET International. 

Richard has throughout his life retained a lively interest in global politics, from observing a civilian coup d'état during his time in Thailand, to standing as a parliamentary candidate in two general elections, to being in Spain the night the Socialist Party was elected after the death of Franco.

 

He has long followed American politics closely, and was a news reporter at a Republican Party Convention to select its Presidential candidate.

 

He has extensive experience as a charity trustee and is currently serving on the boards of the MedicAlert Foundation and the Campaign for Learning. He has previously been a trustee of the Brook Advisory Service, a school governor at several schools, and a churchwarden.

 
He is a Member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a member of the English Speaking Union and the Institute of Directors. He has recently been admitted as Freeman of the City of London.  Richard lives in London with his wife, who is a Master of Wine, and they have two adult daughters.
