Bruce joined as a Trustee just over a year ago and as part of the Unit’s Management Committee has been addressing the responsibility for marketing and communication.
Many will have noticed him surfacing at various events with his trusty cameras.
Bruce was a Sea Cadet in his youth and rose to the rank of Petty Officer Instructor in his school’s Combined Cadet Force (CCF).
Whilst a career in the Royal Navy eluded him he has always had an interest in the sea having been a member of a number of Poole’s yacht clubs over the years, including the Royal Motor Yacht Club, and the East Dorset Sailing Club.
He attributes his love of the sea to his early experiences with the Sea Cadets on Poole Harbour.
Outside of the SCC Bruce is a Senior Academic at Bournemouth University specialising in Sports Marketing. He has been active in various roles in motor sport since the 1970s and is a member of the national Council of the British Automobile Racing Club. He is a keen photographer, author and researcher. He was Mayor of Poole in 1993.
