A Town Clerk since 2011 after considerable experience as a Senior Manager in the Public Sector. I enjoy the position of autonomy and authority but also being really close to what is happening to real people including the every day services that are important to them. I am fortunate to work with a small but wonderful bunch of people and I go to work never quite knowing what the day will bring. Previously I have been the strategic lead for ICT, Customer Services and Organisational Development (inc HR) and I was also a Finance Manager in a London Borough for a few years All of this has given me huge breadth of experience.Following the construction of a community building in Tower Gardens Skegness, we were awarded £0.5m Towns Fund Grant to improve the gardens in which the building sits. We developed a Masterplan and the Grant covered most costs of phase 1 which completed in April. We refurbished the pond, improved paths and establish a sensory planting area. As yet unfunded phases, include accessible play and a heritage/sensory trail. We hope the £20m Government Long Term Plan for Towns will help to deliver more priorities in the Town and I am a member of the Town Sub Committee.I am Skegness Town Council's longest serving Town Clerk having served over 13 years, my longest time in any job. I think I have made a difference. We won awards for the cemetery and for our community building, but none of this would have happened without the people I work with.Professional Diploma in Management (Open University)CILCA (Distinction)Dealing with media Overseeing construction project Qualified PRINCE 2 PractitionerFinancial ManagementCertificate in MediationWorkshop design and facilitation qualificationPTLLS qualifiedKnowledge of Lean SystemsICT Service redesign lead for shared serviceCemetery ManagementGrounds Maintenance ManagementAllotmentsWorkplace First AidMemorial Safety Inspections TrainedProgramme Manager for design and implementation of Customer Access Strategy including implementation of new systems, telephony, BPR and associated accommodation review.
