Nick Harvey

I live in West Cornwall with my wife Jo. I retired from Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service after a 27-year career during which I fulfilled multiple roles around the county, including some considerable time both as a training instructor and Service training manager. Since finishing in Service, I’ve been working as a freelance training instructor here in Cornwall and in Europe, predominantly relating to the Maritime Industry. Prior to working in the Fire Service, I also served in H.M. Royal Marines for 7 years which enabled me to work in some unusual places globally, including operational tours. I believe my time in the Royal Marines, and then the Fire Service, have helped to shape who I am, and I hope I can draw on my experiences and be a positive influence in young peoples’ lives.

In my spare time I love my music, listening to an extensive vinyl collection, and going to gigs and festivals. I also play the 5-string banjo to a level only tolerable to myself. Also, a keen cyclist and motorcyclist believing two wheels to be one of the best ways to see places.
