"I first joined the LGB as a concerned parent governor in 1996 when things were very different. For most of that time I have chaired the Finance Committee in its various guises, currently Business & Finance. I have worked closely with the Headteachers and Business Managers during that time to ensure financial stability and value for money for the various stakeholders.

I am a retired Company Director and bring strategic thinking, leadership, finance and personnel experience to the Board as well as an unflinching desire for continuous improvement."
