Deputy Chief Executive and Trustee of SARA

Chair of NILA

I have been involved in the retail motor industry all my working life which has taught me a lot about people and process.

Teamwork has been one of the standout learnings for me as well. A great team can achieve far more than great individuals.

I joined SARA nearly 9 years ago and am consistently humbled and delighted in equal measure at the bonds of friendship, support and professionalism that all the members of SARA display.

As the organisation is now in its 50^th year of operation, I am grateful to have been given the chance by the members to help navigate our fantastic charity into the next half century.

I joined the trustee board of NILA a little over 2 years ago and have enjoyed being part of the APPG and helping to inform discussion around the new RBCOP.

When not involved in lifeboat activities, I am now semi-retired from work but still help train new staff with a number of large companies within the motor trade. I enjoy my time on the water on my own boat trying to get out as often as possible. I play golf badly and cook fairly well (I am told).

I have been married to Karen for 32 years, and I could not achieve anything without her help and support.
