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, and for the last few years has been an independent resilience and business consultant.
Since 1998 he has also worked as an occasional freelance specialist minicam operator, installing and operating on-board cameras for the broadcast industry. This has included World aerobatic, yachting and rally championships, the World and British Touring Car Championships, International cycling championships and BBC's Top Gear.
Self-employed since late 2006, he is married with three children and lives close by Norwich city centre.
