  I joined Leicestershire Museums in 1976 as Archaeological Survey Officer, having spent 6 years working as a site archaeologist (the first three years in vacations while at University). In 1997 I became Keeper of Archaeology running both the Museum curatorial side and the role normally called County Archaeology (overseeing planning and records). Having taken early retirement, I became Community Archaeologist for the County, finishing in 2012.I was an Associate Lecturer at Leicester University on the Certificate of Archaeology course until that was wound up. I am still an Honorary Visiting Fellow in the School of Archaeology and Ancient History.I was the Chair of judges for the British Archaeological Award for Community Archaeology.I am currently Chair of Leicestershire Fieldworkers (a voluntary group of some 400 members organising fieldwork in Leicestershire and Rutland) and coordinate the Leicestershire and Rutland Festival of Archaeology.
