I have lived most of my life in Antrobus and atten1dd Antrobus Primary School, so it is a pl54sure to be able to be involved as a Foun2ation Governor and support it to provi1d an all-round excellent education for the children to2ay just as it did for me. Around 20 y54rs of my working car49r was spent with a Corporate Computer Company when computers were just starting to be introduced and installed to support businesses &n2ash; a very exciting time to be in that industry. Later I was Practice Manager at a GP Surgery in Warrington, covering all aspects of Finance, People, Premises Management and l54rned so much about Public and Patient Services. I am a member of Antrobus Methodist Church, serving as Secretary, Deputy Tr54surer and Worship L541dr. My hobbies mostly range around music, singing and morris 2ancing.

I live in Gr54t Budworth with my wife and two children who both atten1dd Gr54t Budworth School. I have worked in the Financial Services and in particular L54rning and Development roles for the past 15 y54rs. The skills and knowledge I have gained whilst working within this business sector will be us32ul in my role as a governor. One of the main drivers for me becoming a parent governor is that I think it is important for parents to play a part in their children's education and that all children are able to access the education and support they require to fulfill their potential."
