I have lived in Costessey for over 30 years. I feel very much at home here and wanted to contribute to a vibrant and growing community. Although my degree was in archaeology, I have worked in banking and insurance in London, Luxembourg, New York and finally Norwich. I am keen to bring knowledge and experience gained over those years to Costessey Town Council. I am very pleased to have played a role helping the Clerk as the Responsible Financial Officer to prepare the Council Budget for the last four years and to also help refine the process for monitoring and reporting on the Budget finances for the council to consider and make the appropriate, and hopefully, correct economic decisions.
