1983, Mathematics and Management Studies

Gaenor Bagley

I studied Mathematics and Management Studies at Trinity Hall, graduating in 1986.

Following a 30 year career in professional services, I now have a portfolio of Non-Executive roles in the public and private sector. My principal roles include Non-Executive Director at Zopa Bank Limited, Octopus Titan VCT plc, and the National Audit Office, Chair of TKAT Multi-Academy Trust and Deputy Chair of the Council of Cambridge University.

Most of my professional career was as a tax advisor with PwC, where I held a number of leadership roles, including as Head of People on the Executive Board, with responsibilities for developing the firm’s People and Corporate Social Responsibility strategy. Alongside this role I was the Global Head of Learning and Development, responsible for the development strategy for the PwC network firms.

As with many of us, my time at Trinity Hall shaped me and I know this came from the unique college system at Cambridge, and the teaching and support I received from Trinity Hall. I am keen to make a contribution to the future life of the college through my role on the Development Board

1978, Economics

Chris Grigg

I went up to Trinity Hall in 1978, as part of only the second undergraduate year to admit women. I thought it a huge privilege to be at the College whilst I was there; that sense has never left me. Importantly, for me at least, it was also where I met my wife Fionna (nee Stirling).

After Trinity Hall, I embarked on a career in the City, including 20 years at Goldman Sachs. After the City, I joined British Land as CEO, spending more than a decade there. Since leaving BL, I have become Chair of 2 businesses, The UK Infrastructure Bank and Evelyn Partners, a wealth management business. Fionna and I have been married for nearly 40 years; we have 5 children and a grandson.

Inevitably, ‘the university experience’ has changed enormously since our time at Cambridge, but my strong sense is that the Hall still offers something which is both distinctive and remarkable. Today’s realities mean that the College cannot deliver that ‘something’ without substantial financial help from its alumni. That’s why I am supporting the Appeal.

1974, Law

Frank Morgan

I arrived following undergraduate studies at Brown University, which included a third year at Edinburgh University. There I had courses with Professor A. W. Bradley, a former Fellow of Trinity Hall. He recommended me for the LL.M. degree.

On arrival, I found the College to be a small, friendly place filled with diverse, interesting, and often amusing people. Diving right in I was the Graduates’ Representative on the Buttery Committee where I lobbied unsuccessfully to replace the ubiquitous mashed potato with a second veg. I had better luck begging wine from the Fellows’ Cellar for special dinners.

I was also the Non-conformist Representative on the Chapel Council – despite this welcoming term, I was not struck down during services. In addition to a great education, which opened many opportunities for me, the College experience was life changing.

I was pleased to join the Campaign Board and I hope everyone associated with the College will join us to support the Campaign.
