Deputy Director Strategic & Operational Command & Battlespace Management, Royal Navy

Born on 24 August 1954, Guy Brocklebank joined Dartmouth in 1973 from Millfield School. After graduating from City University London in 1979 with a Naval sponsored BSc(Hons) in Systems & Management, he joined HMS RHYL as an officer of the watch and subsequently HMS LOWESTOFT as Navigating Officer. This appointment embraced the Falklands Campaign. He carried out Communication specialist training in 1983-84 at HMS MERCURY, joining HMS GLASGOW as Communication and Gunnery officer, spending most of the commission in Gulf operations. Special Communication and Intelligence training followed this and, in 1985, he joined HMS BEAVER as Squadron Operations Officer and also Senior Warfare Officer for a round-the-world deployment. In 1989 a first tour in MOD started, as the Operations/Plans desk for the Chief Naval Signal Officer, covering the Gulf War, followed by promotion to Commander. Six months as Joint Communication Commander to Commander British Forces Gibraltar was followed by a second MOD tour as the lead officer for satellite communication. In 1995 Brocklebank moved to Northwood as Fleet Communication Officer, followed by an appointment as the Executive Officer, HMS NEPTUNE in November 1998. In February 2001 he was appointed to a USN exchange post in the Pentagon as the Head of Section for Joint and Allied Interoperability. This demanding tour embraced the attack of September 11 and subsequent military operations for which he was awarded a United States Navy Meritorious Service Medal. In October 2003 he returned to the staff of Commander-in-Chief Fleet as an Acting Captain, moving to his current appointment in November 2005.

Hobbies and interests include reading, walking and sailing. Being Trustee to two charities for special needs education and a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers fills the remaining hours. He is a Fellow of the RSA, a member of RUSI, the CMI and the CMA.
