Prior to this, he held a series of senior roles within the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), most recently as a Director General in Technology.   

 He has served in the UK’s diplomatic service for over 20 years, with roles in both the UK and overseas.   

 A large part of his work has included establishing HMGCC’s public identity as a national security engineering organisation, driving forward opportunities for universities and companies to get involved in HMGCC’s work.  

Followers of our social media will notice that George is a familiar public face, but other staff at HMGCC are not. 

Due to our close work with national security, George is the first and only person permitted to appear as an HMGCC employee in photographs, videos, and using his full name.

Reporting to our CEO, HMGCC has deputy directors who are responsible for each of our main work areas, overseeing the work of our senior leadership team.
