Trust Board

Chair of Trust Board
Link Trustee for St. Peter's C.E. First & Talbot First

I have been very fortunate to have had a very varied and interesting career and life. I started my career on site as a qualified industrial Electrician working for my family business,I worked my way through the ranks to Director status and ultimately successfully negotiated the sale to an Aim listed company back in 2007.

 I stayed on with the company for 10 years as regional Director delivering many exciting and interesting water related projects basically ensuring the constant supply of water for five major Water companies in the UK.

 In June 2016 after over 30 years in the water Utility business I decided that I would retire and spend time with my family, take some well needed holidays and do everything that I never had time to do. I am married to my lovely wife Helena and have two fantastic children. As a family we enjoy the beautiful countryside that surrounds us by walking and biking and in the winter we like to go skiing.

 As a Trustee I feel I can utilise my experience in ensuring we have the safest and best schools whilst maintaining the highest standards.

Chair - Pupil Welfare, Learning and Achievement Committee

I’ve lived in Cheadle since 2014, relocating from Essex. I have two daughters, both of whom were previously pupils at Bishop Rawle C.E. Primary School. I’ve been a Trustee since 2017 and I have held various roles on the Trustee Board in that time, whilst always serving as the link Trustee to Bishop Rawle C.E. Primary School.

I’m a volunteer at the Cheadle & District Foodbank, and I run a consultancy business helping financial planners deal with tax and pension queries.

When I’m not doing any of that, I like walking with my dog, Max, and pretending to be a gardener.
