Chris Gibson MBE has held leadership roles and key appointments throughout his career which have seen him serve on specialist military operations all over the world.

This includes 18 months in Beirut attempting to gain the release of Terry Waite, 12 months in Sarajevo on a Special Forces Team charge with the capture and arrest indicted war criminals and 16 months in Sierra Leone manging the President’s personal security during the civil war.

Further deployment on operations in Zaire, El Salvador, Uganda, Sudan and Algeria brought many challenges. Having led the Close Protection operation in the Middle East during the 2nd Gulf War which saw him planning and leading the protection of various world leaders, Chris moved on to further challenges that the military offered. Having graduated from NHS Staff College he has taken his inventive enthusiasm for adapting military leadership and wisdom for the wider benefit of enterprises such as the NHS.

Having gained a post graduate award in management from Harvard University and an MBA from The University of Northampton, Chris was appointed as The Chief Instructor of The Army Medical Services Training Centre, the world’s largest medical simulation centre preparing the multinational trauma hospital deployments to Afghanistan. Whilst there he co-developed a training, leadership and assurance methodology for hospital care which has been adopted by American, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand militaries as international best practice.
