Rotary Meeting - Speaker Seb Sheppard, from Operation Raleigh to F1 Alpine, Club Host Tony Pickering, Speaker Host Lindy Richardson

Tue, May 6th 2025 at 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Rotary meeting



Born in Tunbridge Wells, Seb's parents moved to Patagonia, Southern Chile while he was a child. As a teenager he participated in Operation Raleigh a pioneering youth expedition program launched in 1984 by the then Prince Charles. Given a taste for adventure and an interest for the military, he returned to the UK as a adult and signed up for the Fleet Air Arm, becoming a naval helicopter pilot and making the most of his 8 years as an officer in the Royal Navy. Post service he then took an MBA and worked for various companies here and abroad with a short spell as an Olive farmer often, putting his fluent Spanish to good use. He takes us through to his last role as Engineering Director at F1 Alpine an interesting subject in itself. Seb has a varied and interesting life story to date with a great sense of humour making him an excellent raconteur. Something for everyone in his talk and not to be missed!
