I was honoured to be elected to serve the ward of Bentswood when unexpectedly asked to stand in Apr '19 and am very grateful to my wonderful residents. I am also Chairman of the Bentswood Community Partnership which coordinates and leads on a range of social programmes and events within the ward

I was honoured to be elected to serve the ward of Bentswood and to be re-elected in 2015. However, in 2019 I reluctantly decided to not re-stand for election in order to make way for other residents who wished to stand. I remain Chairman of the Bentswood Community Partnership which coordinates and leads on a range of social programmes and events within the ward

Whilst not being in a position to carry out the duties of Mayor I was honoured to serve as deputy to two outstanding mayors

Very privileged to be asked to join the Cabinet at West Sussex. A huge responsibility and challenge but I feel very ably supported by colleagues and officers. And we have some awesome people throughout Children's Services :)

Building a database of UK attractions, selling the concept to them and managing the relationship

Worked in Corporate Solutions Dept and latterly Asset Management. Was mostly outsourced to the client, Edward Jones, managing the expansion of their UK branch network.

I had 5 great years based at Canary Wharf from the early days of this great US company. I opened the first hundred or so branches (and Edward Jones's 5,000th worldwide - Romford!) and as a Director at Colliers CRE worked closely with the superb Colliers Turley Martin Tucker team based at EJ's HQ in St Louis.I still do a great deal of work for them and think they are a truly tremendous company and client

An elected Cllr with particular interest in the sport & leisure area

I was originally brought in as a professional Buyer to help with shopfitting costs and contracts for their expansion. Within 3-4 months I was asked to take over the task of opening a further 36 outlets in the next 12 months (achieved on budget etc) as well as acting as facilities manager for the 32 existing stores. My experience at the sharp end of acquistions was a ferocious learning curve and taught me the pitfalls and techniques involved in managing a successful, high-pressure rollout.… Show more I was originally brought in as a professional Buyer to help with shopfitting costs and contracts for their expansion.
