Curriculum vitae
I have been a Three Rivers councillor for Abbots Langley since 1994, and for Abbots Langley & Bedmond since 2014. I was also a parish councillor from 1991 to 1995. I have been an active Liberal Democrat since joining the Young Liberals when still at school in 1981.
I was born in Derbyshire but brought up in Watford and I moved to Abbots Langley in 1989. I now live in Kindersley Way with my wife Sara (who is also a councillor!).
I am the Lead Councillor with responsibility for Resources (Finance) and Shared Services.
I work as Finance Director for the UK/Ireland subsidiary of a worldwide group that makes life-support medical and safety equipment, including manufacture of breathing apparatus in the UK. I have previously worked for organisations in both the private and voluntary sectors, always in a finance/accounting role.
