He has since worked as the interim Finance Director on a consultancy basis for the Rift Valley Institute (RVI), another INGO, for six months, and since February 2017 is a Trustee for that charity. He is now retired and living in Wiltshire where his interests are widening to include golf, chickens and actively contributing to the governance of RVI and Circles South West.
