Co-opted Governor & Chair of Governors

I am currently a finance manager for a telecommunications company and I believe my commercial experience in finance, business planning and analysis will be of great benefit to the school. I also hold a degree in applied economics. 

I see the current ethos, vision, plans and values as critical elements to the continued success of St Peters. As a parent, I am keen to ensure these continue as they can only have a positive impact on the children’s futures.

Outside of work I am married to Claire and we have two children.
