Lee Hardy OBE
In a naval career spanning thirty-six years, Lee Hardy was an acknowledged executive and maritime warfare specialist. His experience was gained from frontline and staff appointments at sea and ashore, in the training environment, in the development of capability requirements and procurement, in specialist intelligence both in the UK and overseas, and in Command. He also led a UK Overseas Territory on behalf of the British Government.
Upon retiring from the military in 2015 he served as the Maritime Adviser to the Overseas Territories Directorate of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office which saw him define, source and deliver to the British Indian Ocean Territory an ocean going patrol vessel. In addition he conceived and managed a technology investigation and demonstration programme to examine innovative technologies applicable to maritime enforcement and situational awareness particularly in MPAs. He now advises widely on enforcement and surveillance matters in the maritime domain and is committed to countering the scourge of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing on the high seas.
