Sheldon spent more than thirty years as an HR Director navigating the wonderfully eccentric world of UK Higher Education. A Chartered Manager and former member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, he served on the National Committee and National Conference Committee of Universities Human Resources (UHR). He survived restructures, inspections, strategic plans, risk assessments and more committee meetings than any human should reasonably endure in a lifetime. Now retired, Sheldon keeps a low profile and enjoys a deservedly quiet life in the Kent countryside.
