Antony Hart

Previously a governor of Exeter College before the Exeter and North Devon Colleges Group was formed.

Antony is a police Superintendent and the Local Policing Commander for Exeter, East and Mid Devon. He has served with Devon and Cornwall Police since 2007 and has worked in a variety of uniformed and detective roles during his career. Before joining the police, he trained as an accountant in the financial services sector in London.

He was motivated to join the Board of Exeter College because the places great value on education in enabling individuals to reach their potential. There are also many parallels in the work of the College and the Police in supporting individuals, and local communities, to thrive. He has previously served as a governor at a local primary school.

Antony holds a BSc in Economics and Management Studies from Cardiff University, and he later achieved an MSc in Police Leadership and Management from the University of Warwick.

Antony lives in Exeter with his wife and three young children. Much of his spare time is spent on adventures with his family, but, when possible, he enjoys getting out on his bike or paddle board, preferably in the sun.
