Where are they now?

I was in the very first cohort of undergraduates in English 1963-1966 (see my interview in your fifty year celebratory archive). I've just received the news that I've been awarded the UEA/Guardian Masterclass Diploma in Creative Writing for my novel Who Killed Mrs. Ramsay? which takes the character Lily Briscoe, the artist in Woolf's To the Lighthouse and gives her a life. Lily solves the mystery of Mrs. Ramsay's death. The course was incredibly stimulating due to the inspiring teaching of the novelist and playwright Gillian Slovo. It's a particular pleasure for me to be graduating again from UEA in 2016 - fifty years after my last graduation!

After graduating as part of the first intake, I developed a career in university administration. That morphed into publishing after a few years spent working on official publications. I continue to do some work as an editor and writer. Since reaching retirement age and becoming a widow, my main involvement has been with my fourth university: the University of the the Third Age in Cambridge. There I run courses connected with language and literature, with a focus on the history of the language.

I have had a varied life style based on the three sports that have starred in my life. Basketball until I was 30 and going over the hill. Next came Golf where I managed to get my handicap down to 7, and finally Bridge where I have represented Wales in many International events including the Mind Olympics in Beijing. I have been married 3 times and have 3 lovely children - one of whom went to UEA and studied MAP just like his father but was a lot better at it. I must thank UEA for giving me my career - the final terms course in Fortran programming was to lead me into 45 years in the IT industry ( but it was only a means to follow my sports). I have been trying to find some of my friends but it does not seem that many are still part of the Alumni. Please contact me if you would like to, I now live in S Wales and am very bored (since lockdown) as my teaching Bridge on cruise ships has been put on hold for the last 2 years.

After graduating in Applied Chemistry at U. of Aston, postgraduate studies in Chemical Physics at UEA and a two year postdoc fellowship at NRC Ottawa in Canada, I pursued an interesting but non-spectacular career as an IT specialist in the chemical industry. During this time I worked for Perkin-Elmer in Beaconsfield, several Divisions of ICI in the UK and ended up with Sandoz in Switzerland. As a casualty of corporate restructuring I then became a freelance web-designer, working from home in Arlesheim, near Basel. Being nowadays more or less retired I have time for my hobbies, which include art and photography (see www.peteryoung.ch) and membership of the Guild of Swiss Mountain Painters. I'm happily married (for the second time), with 2 children and 5 grandchildren.

Had a varied career in museums, lecturing and textile art. Recently gain an MA in Textile Culture in Norwich. Left London for Norfolk in 1999. Married with one daughter.

Retired, with a glass of Scotch...in a cottage in South Gloucestershire, having spent most of my working life as a Lecturer in FE colleges. Pat (nee Belsford) my wife, a retired Senior Civil Servant (also CHE 65) is sitting next to a large Maine Coon ginger pussy cat, plus a gin and tonic ~1.5m away.

Emeritus Professor of Pathology

After a career in further education Andrew was ordained as a Minister of the United Reformed Church in 1991. He has held pastorates in Egham (Surrey) and South Croydon. Just a few weeks ago (after a break back in teaching) he was officially welcomed into the West London team ministry of the URC at a wonderful service in Queens Park. Andrew comments: ‘A goodly number of old friends turned out for the occasion- including some I had known even before my very happy time at UEA.‘After careers in teaching and the Ministry Andrew in quasi retirement is now working for a Ph D at the University of Roehampton on the Anthropic (Design) Principle’.(Happy to say more about that if anyone is interested!)!’ Andrew would love to hear from any folk who remember him. His address is 17 Diamedes Ave, Stanwell, Staines TW 19 7JE. Tel 01784 248294. Email andrewmcl@editor.plus.com.

Still living at Yew Tree Cottage, Felthorpe but spending my winters with work-mates in Africa (I worked in Zimbabwe for 7 years) swimming, gardening & building water features & BBQ's (braais) & volunteering. Perfect lifestyle with maximum sunshine. Last winter was in Australia too on Sunshine Coast & Barrier Reef.

After graduating in 1969 (and leaving the UEA Folk Club behind) I left for Oslo where I spent a year teaching English at a private language school. The following year I started learning Norwegian at the university while earning a good deal more money delivering early morning newspapers and selling tickets on the trams. Back in the UK I took a Dip.TEO av Manchester University. The next four years were spent commuting, teaching in Rochdale, Svolvær (N), Bedford (started a folk club with John Carson) and Kautokeino (N), where I met my teacher wife, Kirsten, and got married. After another two years in Bedford we left the UK to take up teaching jobs in Kirsten's home Sami village, Karasjok. From 1978 I worked at The Sami Sixth Form College teaching English and History and arranging Comenius pupil exchanges. In 1983 we adopted 3 siblings from the Philippines. Since 2009 Kirsten and I have been retired, still living in Samiland (Lapland). Using the now defunct Friends Reunited and Google I managed to trace long lost UEA folk singing friends, Mike (Finland), Dave, Nick (Portugal), Dot (Dorothea) and Sheena. Together with Mike we arranged a re-union at Mike's place just north of Helsinki to mark 50 years since our world opened up at Fifers Lane in 1966.

Retired and living in Wirral, supporting creative arts for wellbeing, local poetry events and women's issues.

Following graduation in 1970 I took an M.A.in Applied Social Studies at University of Nottingham and qualified as a probation officer. Experience in Nottingham led to appointments, as a Senior Probation Officer in Gloucestershire. A period there led to the role of Assistant Chief Probation Officer in the West Midlands followed by secondment as Director of the Midlands Probation Training, Assessment and Development consortium. I was twice Chair of the National Consortium Directors Forum and a Director of the Probation Chief's Association. Retirement in 2010 led to a quieter life in Lichfield, Staffs. Clear memories of the nissen huts and mud and concrete on campus and being the first residents of Norfolk and Suffolk terraces . Pink Floyd and Manfred Mann in University Village. Contemporary with Richard Sandford and Andy Ripley. RIP.

Fifty years after graduating from UEA with a degree in economics I still maintain a ‘day job’, though for how much longer, I’m not sure. I’ve recently taken to writing, something I’ve wanted to do ever since my undergraduate days which were long before there was a School of Creative Writing. I’ve now published Collected Writings – Vol I, a collection of fifteen shorts which I’ve enjoyed doing so much that Volume II is already underway!

I am in semi-retirement from what originally we called 'HM Customs & Excise'. I am in my 39th year on the job and have been involved in nearly every aspect of the job. I am married with 2 children, Usha 29 and Paul 26 Elizabeth Vick. I am living on a small farm in rural Vermont raising a few chickens and sheep, growing organic veggies and fruits, and would love to hear from UEA friends from my year in Norwich!

I've worked 40 years for the civil service, now semi-retired. I've been active in the union, do amateur writing and brought up my daughters.

After a successful academic research/ lecturing career mainly at King's College London, I have retired to my roots in Birkenhead. I still retain a research lab at KCL but it all began at UEA!

Admitted as solicitor 1976 Barrister 1987 Now run a hotel - all UEA members welcome at discount. 

Retired, but still in the UK, after 41 years in the UK Water Industry starting as a hydrologist, then diversifying into water resource planning, water treatment management, and a number of other roles in a water utility.. Now involved in developing Water Standards at the British Standards Institution, in Europe with CEN, and with ISO. I am also a supporter of professional development of members of the Chartered Institute of Water and Environmental Management, and with the Society for the Environment. Also, training for a private pilots licence.

Following my time at UEA, I completed a PhD in Physics at Leicester University (where I met my wife, Elizabeth). I taught Physics before working overseas for 10 years in Chile with the (then) South American Missionary Society. I have recently taken voluntary severance from the University of Salford and now work 2 days a week as a hospital chaplain.

I now consider myself to be 'mainly retired' from a long career in science, living in rural Devon, but I still do some freelance work including scientific editing, assisting authors overseas with English-language reports, and I run training courses on writing and publishing scientific papers. I am still involved with several international conferences and research groups and more recently as a guest online lecturer for several European universities. I have spent most of the 50 years since UEA as a research scientist in agricultural grassland and its wider environmental implications. I can be found on LinkedIn.

Living in North Yorkshire. Retired in 2020 after 44 years in the surface coating industry.

 I live in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Florida. I am a physician, trained in family medicine and then radiology and neuroradiology. As a neuroradiologist I have an interest in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and oncology imaging with PET-CT.

Having worked as a youth worked since 1972, I completed my MA in Women's Studies in 2003 and my PHD in 2009, focusing on anti-war women in North West England in World War 1. I am now working with groups across the UK to create alternative narratives of the first World War. As a history graduate as UEA it is nice to feel my academic work is come 'full circle'.

Went on to do a veterinary degree after leaving UEA and have been practising as a vet since 1978.

After university I qualified as a local government accountant but spent most of my career in county councils as an auditor. I managed to retire early and have now enjoyed more than five years of freedom. I had a spell as treasurer of the local PCC, work as a volunteer in the local community shop, act as the music librarian for the orchestra in which I play the violin and am secretary of the local history society. Living in Oxford I am able to take full advantage of all that it offers. I go to more lectures now than I did as a student, attend art classes and frequently go to the theatre, especially for ballet. I take annual holidays around Italy as well as France. I recently donated all the publications and ephemera that I accumulated whilst at UEA to the library archives.

In London: Kensal Rise, NW10, to be more precise; I'm content in retirement but also now have time to wonder about what has happened to all the people I have lost touch with...

After degrees, BSc (Bio70-73) and PhD (Bio73-76), at UEA I moved to Johns Hopkins Medical school (Baltimore) for 7 years as a postdoctoral trainee and then Assistant professor. Then transferred to NINDS, National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD) for 15 years, rising to Section Chief (92-99).

Having met at the UEA Christian Union, Theresa Arnold (SOC 71-74) and I were married in 1978. We settled in Walthamstow, London and enjoyed careers in teaching: myself in Secondary Science and Theresa in Primary Education. In my final four years I had the privilege of working at the school in Canning Town where Theresa was Head. Towards the end of our working lives, we moved into the Essex countryside and now live in a small village outside Brentwood. I am currently finishing training as a licenced lay minister in the church and we love spending time with our grandchildren. We thank God for all His many blessings.

We have three children and two grandchildren, with a third expected soon. I thought you would be interested to know that Neil was awarded an OBE for services to education in the Queen's birthday honours this summer. He retired last year as Principal of Peter Symonds (Sixth Form) College in Winchester where he had been in post for 20 years. In his time, Peter Symonds grew to be the largest sixth form college in the country, and was regularly graded as 'outstanding' in all respects by Ofsted. Amongst other roles outside college, Neil spent 8 years on the board of UCAS, and 12 years on the Board of the Association of Colleges. Since retiring, Neil has become the (part-time) Executive Director of the national Maple Group of high performing colleges, and vice chair of governors at another, land-based, college. He also has 2 voluntary roles assisting Army training - not the energetic bits! I also worked in education, starting in primary schools but spending most of my career in Further Education. We both enjoyed our years at UEA - not least because it was where we met!

A citizen of the internet - so really it doesn't matter 'where I am now' - except to say that a group of us are trying to connect with old friends that were at UEA between 72 and 75. The schools we belonged to include EAS, FAM, MAP, ENV, SOC ... so in these crazy times where we are all likely to be in lockdown somewhere, why not ping and see if you want to join us? BEST EMAIL : UEAlumni@Philpin.com and we will take it from there.

My wife is also a financial consultant and specilises in the insurance industry. All in all, I feel I've led an interesting life. I was never sure what I wanted to be. So, I tried many things.

Afterall, we have only one life.

After completing my degree last year (2013) I am now doing a Masters in bilingual translation at Westminster University in London.

Masters degree- International Economics Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Fresh from a NBS MBA I'm immersed in the interiors world which is currently very vibrant.

After obtaining my LL.M. from UEA in International Business and Commercial Law I moved to Atlanta, Georgia and began practicing law. I maintain a general litigation and corporate practice, and I am particularly interested in developing an international business specialty. In the last year I have become involved in representing corporate interests before Georgia's legislature, or as we call it in the U.S. "lobbying."

I am currently an Adjudicator for the financial ombudsman service dealing with PPI complaints. I settle financial disputes between financial businesses and their consumer.

I have a BA in Physical Education and Sport. I graduated from the University of East Anglia in 2013 and since then my goal is to educate people about the importance of being active, through movement and training. Even though I work as a personal trainer for nearly 10 years, I love learning and expanding my knowledge by attending seminars, reading and experimenting. My favorite thing in this field is seeing people change in every aspect when they start incorporating fitness into their everyday lives. I have more than 20 clients and I run my own website which offers daily workout routines and proper guidance so that everyone achieve the results they want. 

After completing my degree in Economics BSc in 2013, I now work for as an Assistant Underwriter for CNA Hardy specializing in Cargo, Transport & Logistics.

After graduating from UEA I studied for the Graduate Diploma in Law (law conversion course) in Cambridge to further my interest in employment law. I now work as HR Assistant (Europe) at Johnson Matthey within Catalysis and Chiral Technologies.

I'm Dotmailer's technical writer, which primarily means that I maintain the company's knowledge base. I also compile release notes for our regular upgrades. Dotmailer is the UK's number one email marketing automation platform. With international expansion beckoning, I'm also the company's localisation co-ordinator.

I am 7 months into a year-long starting contract at Pottermore, the digital heart of J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World. I do the day-to-day management of our social media channels (almost 5M followers across all platforms), manage a team of freelance community managers, report on social data and analytics, and work on social media strategy. Recently I oversaw Pottermore's Fantastic Beasts social media campaign, including live coverage from the New York and London premieres, the midnight release of the film in the UK, cast interviews, Warner Bros partner support, and a spot in the BBC Radio 1 documentary 'The Secret of the Wizarding World'.

I am currently residing in Birmingham but moving home to London in January to start working with Camden Society in North London.

After graduating, I moved to Cambridge after I was offered a travel job in the city centre, which I undertook while I searched for a career to settle on. I eventually found an opening at SyndicateRoom - a leading competitor in the bright and shiny equity crowdfunding market. The founders hired me as their Marketing Assistant, and then made me their Marketing Executive. In the year that I've been at SyndicateRoom, I've introduced a new quarterly magazine, which I edit and manage, and begun a new series of sell-out events.

Currently a Secondary School Geography Teacher in West London. Teaching mainly KS3 and PSHE with my year 7 form tutor group!

After graduating in American Studies I married my wife Ellie, who I met in my first year of university. We now have a wonderful daughter Olivia who was born in 2022. After leaving university I trained to be an accountant with a Big 4 accountancy firm. I am currently a Head of Finance for Penguin Random House, one of the worlds largest book publishers.

Since graduating from UEA with a BA in History and Politics and a PGCE in secondary History education I embarked on a career as a secondary school History teacher. I met my wife at UEA, where we both studied for a PGCE in secondary history. We are both now heads of History departments at secondary schools in Cambridgeshire.

After graduating from UEA with an MA in Conflict, Governance and International Development, I spent 6 months running post-disaster reconstruction projects in the Philippines and Nepal. On my return to the UK I worked for the "In Campaign" for the 2016 EU referendum, managing grassroots campaigning activity across the country. I am currently managing grassroots campaigning for Open Britain/The People's Vote Campaign to campaign for a People's Vote on the final Brexit deal.

After graduating in 2012 with a degree in Politics I worked for a financial brokers for 2 years before deciding it wasn't for me and so returned to UEA for a Masters degree in Cultural Politics. After enjoying my Masters I decided to stick with academia and pursue at PhD at Anglia Ruskin University.

My journey at UEA began in 2013 studying a MSc and PhD in Health Economics. Having had the opportunity to work as a contractor for IQVIA (London) during my PhD, I then later accepted a position as a health economist at IQVIA in 2018, which has been a great start to my career. Aside from my day job, and as an advocate for equality, diversity and inclusion, I also mentor a teenager as part of The Girls' Network that supports girls from the least advantaged communities. I will be forever grateful for starting my postgraduate journey at UEA and I look forward to what the future holds.

I am currently the Project head of Urban Youth Project in Karachi, Pakistan. We have pioneered a programme to give free of cost training to youth from lower-income communities to enhance their entrepreneurial capacities. Prior to this initiative, I have worked as an associate with Chief Economist of Pakistan at the Ministry of Planning, Development and Reforms.

After leaving the British Army, I found myself at the doorstep of the UEA one year after the successful completion of an Access to Natural Sciences course. It was a very steep learning curve being away from studying for many years and I had to study extremely hard to play catch up with students who had arrived straight from their A-Levels. I had graduated with a very pleasing 2:1 in Physical Education, where I studied modules in Sport and Exercise Psychology and Human Physiology. I had the choice to push myself, to study the subjects which I enjoyed and it has now led to the career which I have pursued for many years. I am now a Healthy Lifestyle Coach in the NHS working on obesity prevention within Norfolk. It involves helping parents and children with interventions in their own lives that can help to make a change, for the good of their mental and physical wellbeing. The career development and scope to climb a career ladder is great now I have my degree and I am looking at studying a MSc in Applied Human Nutrition alongside my job. The sky really is the limit when you believe in yourself.

Currently I am getting ready for an adventure of a lifetime. I am getting ready to take a position of a Liaison Officer at the NGO Transfrontier Africa which is based in the Balule Nature Reserve of the Kruger National Park.

I am redirecting hopefully back to UEA. I live in Dubai now. And am hoping to be able to arrange to live between the two cities to bring the good of both to both.
