Providing bursary consulting services to independent school
governing bodies

Richard White

In my career before consultancy I spent 17 years as bursar in a Winchester prep school as a second career following a first career in general management in the agriculture, horticulture and food manufacturing industries.

Following retirement from full-time employment, I have established a self-employed consultancy to complement my work as a governor at two independent schools and as an ISI Compliance Team Inspector.  I offer services in Short term/Part time projects, Bursar recruitment, Bursar Appraisal, Independent Panel Member, Structural Review, Compliance Inspection preparation/audit.

I live in Winchester and enjoy travelling widely.  My interests outside work include sailing, cricket, tennis, cycling, walking and bridge.
