Who is Derek Chedzey?

This should be easy because Derek has just been appointed as Archdeacon of Hereford.

These are what the press releases say about him.

Derek has been working in ministry development in the Diocese of Bristol more or less since I moved here, although his job title and exact role has changed several times in that process. He won’t have always sat at the same desk in that time as the Diocesan Office has moved location in that time period.

Derek is married to Claire, and likes Dr Who (which it doesn’t tell you in the press releases)
