Trustees:

Martin Village, one of our founding trustees, has a background in law, including human rights, and is an art dealer and publisher.
Sir Bernard Silverman, one of our founding trustees, has had a distinguished career in academia and the civil service, formerly serving as Chief Scientific Advisor to the Home Office. He has a particular interest in the study of modern slavery.
Andrew Robinson read Natural Sciences at Cambridge. He has spent 50 years managing international manufacturing businesses, his work leading him to travel widely in China. Before retiring, using UK technology, he built up the world’s largest manufacturer of cinema screens.
Andrew Whiteside studied physics at Oxford before spending more than 30 years serving as a diplomat in the Foreign Office, for which he worked from Hungary, Italy, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.
All three of our founding trustees and Andrew Robinson, who joined in February 2024, are alumni of Jesus College, Cambridge, united by shared concerns about the university’s ties with China and the CCP.
