Stephen Elliott-Hunter FRSA MCMI MEPS MInstLM FICPEM
Hailing from Norwich, “A city saved by splendid isolation”, a long family history there has always drawn him home after many travels.
Always questioning the status quo, he has been considered an unconventional thinker & problem-solver, but earned these through lateral thinking & nearly limitless enthusiasm where others wane.
An RAF pilot at seventeen, he flew fighters in a short but exciting career, reinforcing a taste for decision-making and responsibility. He was quickly established as a creative resource and problem-solver on joining the police in the late seventies, and after five years in Community Safety, (inc. drugs, media, crime prevention & community engagement), he moved into Incident Management Command and Control, developing a reputation for confidence, leadership and command skills. Retiring mid-2005, he became a local authority Emergency Planning Manager.
Self-employed since late 2006, he is married with three children and lives close by Norwich city centre.

Alan Fisher
Alan is a catastrophic loss expert with a particular emphasis on construction and engineering related failures.
Alan has also been involved in many of the so called "disaster cases" ranging from the comparatively small Abbeystead explosion, which killed 15 people and badly injured twice that number in 1988, to the Paddington train crash in 1999.
He has also appeared as advocate in complex arbitration cases such as that following the derailment of a heavy goods train at Bexley in 1997.
Alan has sought to apply his experience throughout his career, knowing that the key to the successful resolution of a dispute, without the need to go to court, is not only knowledge of relevant law but also solid experience. His involvement in many large liability and insurance cases has, inevitably, brought with it specialist knowledge in this area. He brings to these cases many years of experience as an investigator and has acquired an in depth knowledge of the legal and technical issues involved.
For many years Alan has lectured on Health and Safety topics and on regulatory aspects of the energy and transport industries at insurance industry conferences and as a visiting lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire Civil Emergency Management Centre.
