I was born in Barrow but have
spent most of my life in Dalton. I joined VSEL (now BAE Systems)
back in 1977 as an apprentice and have been retired for 5 years, my
final role was Senior Capability Manager –
Engineering.
I am skilled in a
variety of disciplines and have a vast array of qualifications in
Engineering, Life Cycle Management, Planning, Project Management,
Metrology, Quality Control & Quality Assurance (Lead
Auditor).
I have been married
to Gill for 38 years and have two children Hollie & Josh, I
also have three Grandchildren Mia, Sophie and
Elena.
A past Director and
Trustee of Dalton Community Association (Drill Hall) a project I
was involved in for over 10 years and was part of a team that
secured in excess of £500k from charitable organisations and
local funders. The money transformed what was a near derelict
building into a community asset; we recently received the
Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.
I have been active in a number of
organisations including the A590 Theatre and Anne Hood
awards. I am a STEM Ambassador for
local schools and offer my time freely.
I am a Trustee of University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay and I am
also a member of Rotary Club of Furness and have just completed 2
years as President.
My hobbies include
holidaying (cruising), walking, cycling and fundraising, I am
happiest when I am doing something.
I enjoy raising money
for charity and once took part in a Sponsored Cycle ride across
Israel raising £3k.
My ethos is “IF
YOU WANT TO EFFECT CHANGE YOU NEED TO BE PART OF IT”. To
utilise a phrase from Henry Royce (Rolls Royce) – TO DO
ANYTHING RIGHTLY IS NOBLE, hopefully this will focus me on my
constituents in Roosecote.
I am past Chairman of
the Overview and Scrutiny Committee and member of Audit and
Licensing Committees.
