Chief Explorer

“Exploring the outer and inner world in search of new ideas”

Leadership & Innovation

Hi there. I am Stuart Eglin. For the past three decades I have been working in the English National Health Service. For the last decade or so I have been focused on leadership & innovation, leading an organisation that I founded back in 2013. In April 2021 I announced that I intended to step down as the Chief Executive of this organisation.
In April 2022 I became a Chief Explorer – in part for that organisation – but also more widely, developing a new role that will explore the outer and inner worlds, in search of new ideas, new ventures and seeking the deeper meaning of this precious human life that we all have

Tapestry as Early Comic Books: from Montreal to Bayeux and Chateau d’Angers

A few years ago “PC” (that’s pre-COVID) we went on a Road Trip through New England and up into the Canadian province of Quebec. It was a fantastic trip. We spent a few days in Montreal and June had done her research (as usual) which led to us searching out a bookshop called Drawn & Quarterly. This little jewel in a suburb on a non-descript backstreet was filled with comic books. I browsed for a while and then picked up a couple of beautiful books. The limitation of being across the Atlantic from the UK, was the fact that I had a limit to luggage on the airplane otherwise I would have come out with a pile of books.
