Andrew Poulsom
Elder
Andrew comes from Wiltshire and, if pressed, claims to be a Swindon Town supporter.
He is now retired but was a Chartered Engineer who worked at the University of Portsmouth, where he lectured in Engineering Geologist and Rock Mechanics Engineering.
He is married to Dot and they have lived in Chichester for over 40 years. They are blessed with 4 daughters and 13 grandchildren. He has served in a range of roles in the churches they have attended over the years, including youth leader, deacon and home group leader.
After Covid they started to attend Christ Church Southampton, part of the Reach South group of churches, and that led to them joining the Launch Team at the planning stage of Hope Church Chichester in Sept 2024.
He has an allotment…… and also gets excited by Spitfires and driving fast cars around race tracks (but that’s now becoming a thing of the past).
