Robin is a former BBC and ITV News Correspondent. He reported internationally and across the UK. He was also a Senior Producer at BBC Newsnight for more than three years.
He has over eight years' experience as a Communications Director, delivering strategies and campaigns for high-profile organisations in the UK and overseas. Robin has extensive experience in managing crisis and building trust and confidence in major organisations and - importantly - the people who work for them.
Robin joined Essex Police in 2019 having served as the first Communications Director at Help for Heroes. While at the charity, he successfully campaigned to increase the compensation given to the most seriously wounded Veterans of military service following the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. His campaigns helped raise £300m from the brilliant British public.
Robin was appointed Assistant Chief Officer in 2024, having completed the College of Policing Executive Leadership Programme. He is the only former professional journalist to complete the UK policing profession's most advanced leadership programme.
Robin's mission is to tell the stories of the people who work in policing. He believes that by listening and talking to our communities about the work that officers, police staff and volunteers do to make our region a safe place to live and work, we will unite our society and cut crime.
