About me

Within the District of Wiltshire, many of us have come to know Richard Legge as a steady, thoughtful and quietly committed Mason, someone who gives his time generously and brings people together with ease. His path to becoming Inspector General reflects a lifetime of service, both inside and outside masonry, shaped by professionalism, humility and a genuine interest in the wellbeing of others.

​

Richard grew up in Swindon as one of four brothers and began his working life in healthcare, qualifying as a Diagnostic Radiographer in 1985. His early career took him to the Royal Berkshire, Battle Hospital and later the John Radcliffe in Oxford, where he specialised in CT and angiocardiography and eventually managed the angiography laboratories. These roles demanded clarity under pressure, attention to detail and the ability to support people at difficult moments, qualities that have stayed with him throughout his life.​

A move into the pharmaceutical and medical-devices industries led Richard into training, coaching and leadership development. What started as a new direction soon became a genuine passion. Over the years he held senior roles in training, business leadership and organisational development, completing an Executive MBA at the University of Bath along the way. Today he serves as Global Leadership Development Director for Convatec, working with senior leaders and high-potential teams across an international organisation. His work is rooted in developing people, listening carefully, and helping others reach their potential, skills that sit naturally alongside the ethos of the Ancient & Accepted Rite.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
