I was re-elected as a Lady Manners parent governor in November 2024, having previously spent four years on the governing board. Prior to this I was a governor of Longstone Primary School for eight years (with six years as Chair).
I grew up in Derbyshire and moved back here several years ago after a career in investment banking which took me to London, Hong Kong and New York. After moving back home, I set up as a freelance financial consultant, working with investment banks and large corporate clients. My work is part-time which leaves me plenty of spare time to commit to governor duties.
My wife and I live in Little Longstone with our three children, all of whom attend Lady Manners. I’m a keen believer in the state school system and its ability to provide an excellent education for all children, regardless of need or background.
