Co-Opted Governor
I worked in the UK Civil Service for over 30 years, in a variety of roles advising Ministers on energy policy, local economic growth, competition and consumer law, and public spending. My last role before retiring was as a Senior Civil Servant running the Governance system for the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. For the last four years I have been a Governor at the Sele School in Hertford. I believe my professional and voluntary experience provide me with the skills and expertise to support Alban City School’s Governing Body and wider community.
I joined the Board in December 2024. I applied to be a Governor because I had already heard great things about the school from my daughter, who worked there as a TA, and also because it’s very local to me.
I have lived in St Albans for 30 years, and my wife and other daughter both teach in schools in the town. I like cycling, history and nature, supporting Watercress Wildlife just off the Alban Way, and Heartwood Forest as a Woodland Trust member. I am also, for my sins, a proud supporter of Everton F.C.!
