The Naval Families Federation (NFF) is delighted to announce the appointment of Dave Field to its Board of Trustees.

Dave served in the Royal Navy, retiring as a Warrant Officer Marine Engineering Artificer (WOMEA) after over 20 years of service. He continues to maintain a close connection with naval life through his Son, who is currently serving in HMS Dragon, giving Dave both extensive lived experience of Service life and a valuable perspective as a proud Dad!

Living in Worcestershire and part of a geographically dispersed naval family, Dave brings a wealth of commercial and strategic leadership expertise to the Board. Following a successful career in the energy-from-waste sector, where he held Director level positions, he has semi-retired and is now able to dedicate his time, knowledge and commitment to the strategic direction of the NFF.

Welcoming the appointment, NFF Chair of Trustees, Captain Paul Quinn RN (Retd) said:

“We are delighted to welcome Dave to the Board of Trustees. His extensive leadership experience, deep understanding of Service life and commitment to supporting naval families will be invaluable as we continue our work to ensure the voices of serving personnel and their families are heard”.

Dave’s appointment further strengthens the NFF Board’s breadth of experience and expertise, supporting the organisation’s mission to improve the quality of life for serving personnel and their families. Through evidence-based advocacy, by offering specialist advice and through our engagement at homecoming events and presentations to serving RN and RM personnel, we continue to champion families, enabling them to thrive in their community of choice.
