Stephen Elliott-Hunter FRSA 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 Hunters 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 provides Enterprise Resilience consultancy and has a keen interest in community, communications, media issues and partnership working.
Married with three children, he lives close by Norwich city centre.
