I have been fortunate to serve as a Foundation Governor on various platforms of school governance (primary, secondary and board) since 2023, all of which have given me a wealth of experience to enable me to carry out the SSC member role.
I worked for over 35 years in Bournville for Cadbury but am now happily retired and taking on a very demanding role of being a Grand father! I hope that my business knowledge will complement the various skills of my colleagues on the committee.
I live in and am part of St. Brigid’s parish in Northfield. Now retired, I have plenty of time to enjoy the things I love - spending time with my growing family and friends, travelling, cycling and volunteering at major sporting events across the country and beyond.
“I’m committed to ensuring we deliver the best possible Catholic education for our children, and believe that by harnessing the power of the three key ingredients available to us – the school, the family and the parish - we can all work together to make all our children the best they can be.”
