Black History Month: The work to end modern slavery
Writing for Black History Month, our colleague Jeff Cox reflects on his time as a member of Anti-Slavery International and discusses the ongoing work to end modern slavery.
Jeff Cox
Jeff is a long-standing member of staff with the Insolvency Service, working out of the Official Receiver’s office in Reading.
Jeff Joined the service in 1984 as a clerical officer, with the intention of that being a stop gap job, whilst he continued to look other work.
However, he was attracted to the roles of Insolvency Examiner, being particularly drawn to the mix of a varied case load and investigation work. For many years he found his Higher Executive Officer role to be both a demanding and satisfying.
Jeff is currently in a Senior Executive Officer role of Deputy Official Receiver, managing the Reading office on behalf of the Official Receiver.
Outside of work his main form of relaxation is music - having picked up the guitar during the heady days of Punk Rock. His musical tastes have mellowed since then.
