I am Richard Eglese and I joined the Committee in 2015. I grew up in south-east London and came to live and work in Lancaster in 1979, where I have been a Professor of Operational Research at Lancaster University. I’m a member of St. Thomas’ Church, where I now hold the role of Treasurer. It has been wonderful to see the developments in 1Step2Step since its beginnings and I’m very pleased to have the opportunity to support it through participating on the Committee.
