I am an accountant by trade, qualifying as an ACA in 1979 up to retiring from my full time position.
Once established in Nottingham I became an active member of the local region of the Institute of Directors ultimately becoming chairman for five years in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
I was heavily involved with The Lords Taverners for many years but my other primary charitable interest now is as trustee of the Nottingham University Hospitals Charitable Trust.
Outside of work, I am happily married to Nicky and we have two children Tom and Katie. Both of my children attended Oakham which provided them with a great foundation for life.
