I’m Chris Englefield. I have a lovely wife and grown up children.
I am a scientist by training and I specialised in radiation protection, which is about risk management. I retired from public service and from running my own consultancy and publishing companies. My work involved me in working with and sometimes in, many large and complex organisations including the UK and other governments, the United Nations and groups like Police and Customs in many different countries. For many years I was also very active in my professional society which is a large charity. I also set up an associated charity to support professionals in need. Finally, I was a visiting teacher at Kings College in London and our own University of Cumbria before I finally retired.
In my career I therefore learned a lot about collaborative working, management, risk management and charities, and I am pleased to bring these contributions of knowledge and experience to Lancaster Men’s Hub as a trustee and as Membership Manager. In addition, nowadays, much of my leisure time is spent playing with boats and things nautical.
