Profile

Married Father of two.

I work in the print industry.

First elected a councillor on Stafford Borough Council in 1995.

Past Mayor of Stafford Borough.

Over the years I have been a Governor and Chair of Governors at schools in Stafford.

Involved with many local groups.

When not at the Council I like to walk my dog, read and follow Manchester City. I would also like to say world travel but I think I will have to wait until I retire for that!

I am contactable anytime via phone or email and indeed encourage residents to do so, you never know I might be able to help.
