Roy Geddes is said to bring distinguished service experience and community leadership to the role.

He was awarded the Military Cross for bravery and leadership under fire during the 2012 Taliban raid on Camp Bastion, in Afghanistan’s Helmand province, when he commanded the Off Base Quick Reaction Force that repelled a major insurgent assault on the UK's largest base.
