District Treasurer


Profile: Michael Richardson

Having trained as a Chartered Accountant and working with Price Waterhouse, I moved into the field of Venture Capital, where I finished up running the Corporate Finance Department. I then moved into International Merchant Banking and was asked to become Chief Executive of the Merchant Bank in India. After three and a half years there I returned and then helped pioneer the firm's work in Central and Eastern Europe, advising on post communist financial and economic problems. I thought that I had retired in 1997, but it doesn't seem that way right now!

I am a lifelong Methodist having followed my parent's footsteps at Belmont Methodist Church. A family move took me to St Leonards-on-Sea, where I soon became involved in running the MAYC Youth Club. I was the MAYC District President in 1968-69 and continued with my Youth Club work on moving to Sevenoaks. I took up Local Preaching in 1982 and have taken on a number of offices at The Drive Methodist Church, Sevenoaks. I became District Treasurer many years ago and "volunteered" to take on the same role in the new District.

Other activities - National Treasurer for Gideons International in the British Isles; on the Court of my Livery Company and Treasurer at SEITE; gardening, singing and walking take up my spare time!!!!
