Hi, I would like to make a request for a small update to the Personal life section. I have a connection to Chris and am unable to edit the article directly, but wondered if the following might please be considered for addition after the first paragraph (my new bits are in bold and italic):
- Townsend is also a Trustee and Chair of the Trading Company at the National Portrait Gallery as well as a Trustee and Chair of Digital Committee of the Royal Opera House, advising on commercial, digital and business transformation programmes and projects. Townsend is a keen conservationist and a Member of the Tusk Trust Development Board, of which Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, is the patron. Since 2026 he is a Commissioner for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.[1]
Also, in the Education section I wondered if the fact he sits on the board might be added?
- Townsend studied geography at Newcastle University, gaining a BSc Single Honours. Townsend gained an MSc in Marketing Management at Nottingham Trent University (NTU), receiving a Distinction for Dissertation and was awarded Best Student at NTU in 1998. He now sits on their board of governors.[2]
Thank you so much for considering! BadadeeBadada (talk) 16:47, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
