With over 40 years of dedicated service as an NHS manager and agency lead, I bring a lifetime of leadership, compassion, and practical problem-solving experience to our community.

Full statement

Now a retired 75-year-old, I remain deeply active within my political party and find great fulfillment in volunteering for several local charities. My career has been defined by a commitment to public service and the well-being of others, qualities I am eager to channel into representing our residents with the same kindness, politeness, and friendly approachable nature that I have carried throughout my professional life.

On a personal note, I am the proud father of two children and grandfather of five grandchildren and am inspired daily by my wife, a University lecturer with a doctorate in Nursing. Our family’s deep roots in healthcare and education reinforce my belief in the power of community support and lifelong learning. I am running for councillor because I believe my extensive experience in management and my heart for charitable work make me uniquely qualified to listen to your concerns and advocate for a better, more inclusive future for everyone in our ward.
