We are pleased to welcome Dylan Harris (66-76) to our team of global District Vice Presidents (DVPs).
At Bedford, Dylan joined the computer Society, BabSoc, which set him up for his future career. He attended his father’s wartime alma mater, now Greenwich University, where he read Computer Science. He is now a software contractor, specialising in C++ for Windows and Unix. One of his current clients is the American multinational Ivanti.
His passion for artistic pursuits started at Bedford and, since leaving, he has gone on to publish six poetry collections along with various photography books.
Dylan, who is now based in Luxembourg, left the UK in the early noughties and met his partner whilst living in Paris. Having only spoken English until the age of 50, he is now fluent in French, and can get by in Dutch, German and Luxembourgish – he is working on Mandarin! Dylan strongly believes Bedford’s language education helped him immensely and gave him the confidence to settle in a country where fluency in four languages is the norm.
