“A little about me.

I spent a career in industry with both start-up businesses and multi-nationals. I recently retired as Chief Operating Officer and Chief financial officer of one of Buckinghamshire’s largest manufacturers and private employers. Over the 13 years I was with them we became:

- the first business of its kind in the world to be carbon neutral over 10 years ago,

- the first of its kind to achieve ISO Environmental Management accreditation,

- the first business of its kind to use British Red Tractor wool in our product and won a Queen’s Award for Sustainability in 2020.

During this time, the business more than tripled its turnover and improved its profitability demonstrating that good environmental practice is good business practice.

I moved to Moreton-in-Marsh in March 2022 with my wife after having lived in our last village for 32 years where we brought up our three children. It is now time for me to spend my time and expertise supporting those less fortunate than myself and serve our community. I am a volunteer driver for Cotswold friends and I am privileged to have represented the people of Moreton as a town councillor since September 2022.

I stood to represent the people, businesses and environment of the new South Cotswolds constituency in the 2024 General Election to ensure meaningful progress on the Climate and Ecology Emergency is taken and that we build a fair and thriving future for us all.

I am now standing in the forthcoming Cotswold District Council election for The Rissington's ward so that the excellent work done by Green Councillor Andrew McLean can be continued. Local democracy will be a big part of the agenda in these elections and I shall ensure peoples' voices are heard about decisions that affect them in the transition to a new unitary authority and how they can continue to be heard in an ever-centralising political landscape.

I am a founder of "Moreton Against Over Development" as I am concerned about the potentially devastating effects this will have on the North Cotswolds, Stow and The Rissingtons.
