“Dr Alan Blacker is a phenomenon the like of which one could scarcely imitate. His extraordinarily diverse range
of academic and technical knowledge and first-hand personal and practical experience and abilities
demonstrate that he is a supremely gifted individual capable of engaging well with people and challenges of all kinds. His track record demonstrates his commitment to causes in which he believes and invests his energies and I am convinced that he would be an asset to any organisation or cause.”
Gary Allan QC Queen's Counsel, Advocate, Serious Crime and White Collar Crime Specialist

situations is of great benefit to us all. Alan is a person of outstanding good character and exceptionally good
humour, he is reliable and without vice.”
