Crispin Morton - Manager
- ExperienceRead more
Crispin has over 12 years' consulting experience in the programme management of business change, with particular emphasis on benefits realisation management and communications. He has worked primarily in the public sector, but also in telecommunications. At Moorhouse, his main clients have included BT and the UK Ministry of Defence, and prior to joining he spent 8 years in the Performance Improvement Consulting practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, working with the DWP, Remploy, the NHS, Northamptonshire County Council & the MoD.
The common thread across Crispin's consulting engagements is people, which reflects his strong belief that all the technical skills in the world will get you nowhere unless you can manage your team. He believes in developing and harnessing the power of high performing teams, building productive relationships with stakeholders and managing change to deliver tangible benefits through the power of programme and project management.
Crispin served as an officer in the Royal Navy for 19 years, mostly spent flying Sea King and Lynx helicopters, and he subsequently spent a year running an All-Party Group in the Palace of Westminster.
- QualificationsRead more
Crispin has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from Durham University and a Masters in Business Administration from Cranfield School of Management. Crispin is a member of the Association for Project Management (APM) and is a certified practitioner in PRINCE2, Mangement of Successful Programmes (MSP) and MoP.
- InterestsRead more
Crispin devotes much of his spare time to music, on the classical side he sings Alto both in the Cathedral Choir at Salisbury (where he lives), and in Sarum Voices, a local choir who have won a number of awards for their concerts and recordings. On a more frivolous note he is a keen rock, blues and slide guitarist (including in Moorhouse's very own in-house band).
Crispin was born and raised in Nottingham, and as such there is a thread running through his sporting allegiances: he is a keen Rugby Union fan who clings to the hope that his old club, Nottingham RFC, may yet return to the highest level; he is similarly long-suffering as a life-long supporter of Nottingham Forest FC, and is the club's official historian; and his idea of heaven is a sunny day at Trent Bridge watching Graeme Swann bowl.
