I retired to Costessey from Buckinghamshire in 2014 from a working life in the Office Automation and IT industries. I have a degree in Chemistry and Pure Mathematics with a postgraduate qualification in Management. It is now my opportunity to give of my time and experience to the community where I am a resident. My background strengths are organisational management with an emphasis on financial and business planning. I want to use this experience for the benefit of both Costessey Town Council and South Norfolk District Council, both of whom I am honoured to serve as Councillor. I am currently Shadow Portfolio Holder for Finance at South Norfolk and Vice Chairman of Costessey TC. I am keen to try to ensure that local infrastructure development catches up, and keeps pace, with housing and population growth in Costessey. I am also committed to serve the residents I represent to the very best of my ability in helping with their day-to-day problems.
