I moved to Dursley in 2023 with my wife Liz having lived in Reading for over forty years and during that time driven into London 6/7 days a week. Leaving home at 5.00 am and getting back at 9.00pm became just a regular day. I have a multi-disciplined background in finance and property and have a successful track record of building investor relationships with private individuals and family offices across the UK, USA and the Middle East. I have been responsible for the development of numerous listed buildings and working closely with English Heritage on specialist contracts involving restoring buildings to their former glory.

I have 5 grown up children with one just having purchased a house in Tetbury which prompted us to move from Berkshire to Gloucestershire.

Being a Director of Cotswold View (Dursley) Management Ltd and having a vested interest in the freehold of The Cotswold View Estate I have gained a good working knowledge in the area. It has taken a while to get used to the slower pace of life and now with time on my hands I hope that I can bring something to the benefit of Dursley in the role of being a Councillor.
