Wilson has always been happiest in, on or next to water, so when he retired from a career in institutional investment management he was delighted that his wife had built a home on the banks of the River Thames. Concerned about the reports of pollution in the river he started testing the water and now tests using a multitude of testing methods. He created the website www.watertestingriverthames.co.uk which reports the results of many test sites from Oxford to Kingston and encourages data collection and collaboration. When he’s not water testing he's probably fly fishing.
