Bradley began his career in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1980, and has served in Tokyo, Paris and Beijing.
Born in New York, Bradley came to Hong Kong in 1977 to visit his then girlfriend, now wife, Elizabeth. The couple have two children, who are both permanent residents of Hong Kong, and one of whom was born in Hong Kong. Bradley himself was also a permanent resident of the territory, before renouncing it to take up the position as Consul-General. He publicly spoke of his intention to re-apply as a Hong Kong Permanent Resident, and to stay in the territory after his retirement.
An unprecedented open recruitment exercise was held to search for Bradley's successor.
