Brigadier Stephen John Tetlow MBE (born June 1954) is an engineer and former senior British Army officer.
Tetlow was born in Basford, Nottinghamshire,[1] and was educated at Burton Joyce Primary School and Carlton le Willows Grammar School, where he aspired to be a train driver.[2] Stephen Tetlow had been promoted to Major by 1991, when he had received his MBE.[3] He was then promoted to Colonel by 2011, when he dismissed claims put forward by author Tim Blackmore that emerging technology would revolutionize battlespace in the near future - commenting that "conflict is, and will remain, essentially a human activity".[4] Later promoted to Brigadier, he was gazetted to the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. He was Director of the corps from 2002 to 2005.[5]
After military service, Tetlow became chief executive of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He currently resides in Devon on a County Wildlife Site and has since led an expedition to South Georgia in order to retrace the steps of Ernest Shackleton.[6]
