John Norton Esq
Lay Partner at North West London Lay Partner Group
Richard who I have now worked with long enough to appreciate his talents brings enormous value to any activity which is fortunate enough to have his input. He is already involved with a considerable number of important health oriented institutions and groups. I know that anybody who is looking for a person dedicated to the interests of the individual patient would be wise to have Richard by their side.
Vice Admiral Sir Jeremy Blackham
Consultant to Airbus Helicopters and Airbus UK
I worked with Richard as a fellow Trustee at the RUSI for several years. I found him to be an excellent colleague, with very good judgement and insight as well as deep knowledge of the financial and governance issues involved in trusteeship. He is very clear and articulate and is prepared to take on difficult issues with both courage and common sense. I enjoyed working with him and respected and trusted him totally.
Dr Simone Botti
CEO at Metabomed Ltd
While working with Richard on a project for the RI, I was exposed to his depth of knowledge and experience in an exceptionally broad range of disciplines, and to his selfless commitment to issues and projects that he championed. Since then I have been looking for other opportunities to work with Richard again.
Stephen Kingsley Esq
Partner at Keystone Law
I have known and worked with for some eight years. Richard was a valued member of the Council of the Chelsea Society, where his deep and varied knowledge was greatly appreciated.
Dr Gwynneth Flower
Past: Hon Treasurer, Royal Institution, Chair, National Meteorological Programme
I have known Richard for more than 10 years and have always held him in high regard. He is an astute and very capable business manager with wide ranging contacts and equivalent experience. He works well in every situation in which I have observed and can get on well with all types of people. His commercial experience is extensive and I value his views and contributions to business development.
Dr Martin Cooke
Head of Corporate Engagement at World Animal Protection
I have worked closely with Richard on ZSL Council and in the Finance and General Purposes Committee. Richard is insightful and determined, a source of clear and well reasoned advice.
Dr Marc Fehlmann
Director General at Basel Historical Museum
Richard is an extremely astute financial adviser and highly committed to funding the arts. We were most impressed with his ability to draw together his connections from his various networks to achieve at the highest level. Richard is also a highly cultivated and most charming patron and individual.
