About this listen

Listen to my wise Civil Servant colleague Keith Thorpe, who has worked for the UK government for 50 years. Keith shares how he worked in the age of no internet, to managing data on consulting for Heathrow Airport's new terminal, to many other notable work in the government, for which he was rewarded OBE, an honour from the Queen. Keith also shares his academic research experience in Iran and now currently renovating is family cottage that was damaged by flood. Keith comes from a very humble background and wanted to become a farmer. However, his craving for knowledge and his passion for books enabled him to be a dedicated civil servant for so long.
