Julian was previously Public Relations Officer of Coutts Bank and then managed his family’s equestrian business for a number of years. Initially he joined the Association on a part-time basis to undertake a fundraising campaign and subsequently was appointed as the charity’s Deputy Director.
Today Julian is Head of The Almshouse Association’s Member Services, a role to which he brings many years of experience gained within the almshouse movement. Supporting almshouse charities gives Julian great satisfaction, especially the wide range of issues that member charities present day-to-day.
Outside the Association Julian is President of The Association of British Riding Schools. His other passion is music and a number of his compositions have been given public performances. In 2021 Julian was awarded a Fellowship of The Royal Society of Arts.
