Motoring, horology and breeding/showing dogs comprise Brian’s passions and, after a long career in education at secondary and tertiary levels, he now has more time to include these as significant matters in everyday life.

Brian is a long-time member of the Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club of Australia, the RREC UK and RROC USA as well as being a member of the Vintage Sports Car Club. He is a past president of the RROCA NSW.

Brian is the current Chair of the Sir Henry Royce Foundation Australia and is passionate about ensuring we preserve and enhance technical knowledge and motoring culture for future generations. He believes that in the future such institutions as the AMHF will significantly increase in importance as a source of knowledge about motoring which might otherwise be lost.

Brian is the founding chair of the Royal NSW Canine Health and Welfare Charity Ltd.

Brian is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts, an organisation committed to finding ways to build a better world.
