After a career predominantly in Education, as teacher of French in my youth and university administrator when rather less youthful, I welcome the opportunities offered by Explore in my retirement. I was a keen member of the old Explore scheme and one of the original 'gang of four' directors who set up the new Community Interest Company in 2013. My responsibilities on the Board are financial, in which role I work closely with our Treasurer, Fiona MacCarthy. My Explore interests are fairly wide, though perhaps with a particular interest in history, and in philosophy which I encountered in Explore as a complete novice. I also use Commercial Union House as a student of our Blah Blah Blah neighbours, having learnt Italian to A level as a retirement project.
