I joined the BEA board in 2016.
Born in Liverpool in 1947 I grew up in Morecambe before moving to Yorkshire. I have lived in Calverley for many years, and know Bramley very well.
I spent my working life in industry, including starting and successfully developing my own company, before retiring in 2004.
I have been a Rotarian for nearly 30 years, and I was responsible for the 10 Rotary Clubs in Leeds for a period of three years. I was also on the board of Leeds & Yorkshire Housing Association for seven years.
I am married with two children and four grand-daughters.
