Nick Aldworth retired from a 36 year career in the military and policing in May 2019. Across that time he enjoyed multiple operational roles, with the last 5 years serving within counter-terrorism (CT) and retiring as the UK’s CT National Coordinator for Protect and Prepare. He was responsible for making the UK stronger against terrorism and more resilient to its impacts.
On retirement, Nick joined forces with Figen Murray, whose son was murdered in the Manchester Arena attack, and Brendan Cox, the husband of Jo Cox MP, in campaigning for the UK Protect Duty, and he was the author of the proposal on which the government has recently consulted. Now known as Martyn’s Law, the legislation was given approval to go before Parliament ,just before Christmas 2022.
Nick runs his own company, Risk to Resolution Ltd (R2R), that aims to help organisations identify the challenges they face, and support them, and their staff, in resolving them.
