Trevor Spires
Biography
Following the completion of a university engineering apprenticeship with Rolls-Royce Aero Engines, Trevor joined the Royal Navy from which he retired in early 2009, in the rank of Rear Admiral. Having initially joined as an academic training specialist, as his naval career developed he undertook a variety of operational and management roles. In the latter part of his career he specialised in personnel management and spent the 6 years prior to leaving the Royal Navy as the Chief Executive of the Agency responsible for support services to all UK armed forces serving and retired personnel. Key parts of this role were the payment of £13billion per annum in salary and pensions to a global customer base of around 1 million individuals and the building of effective relationships with commercial partners. He was awarded a CBE in the 2009 New Year Honours list.
Since leaving the Royal Navy Trevor has developed a portfolio of Non Executive Director roles, predominantly in the public sector, and charity Trustee roles. To all of these roles he brings expertise in financial management, strategic thinking, change and risk management, service delivery and corporate governance.
He is married with 2 grown up children who have fled the nest and he lives in Hampshire but also has a small house in France. He is addicted to boy's toys, especially those with 2 or 4 wheels.
