Paul Sherwood and Nick Bennett

In 1992 Paul Sherwood met his future husband to be on the first day of his Geography course at Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education. After his husband Nick Bennett completed his master’s degree, they both became statisticians for the Ministry of Defence.

He said: “The course prepared us well for the Civil Service graduate recruitment scheme we applied for as new graduates. We still have very fond memories of our days in Cheltenham and still live in Gloucestershire.”
