General Manager of one of the biggest edible vegetable plant raising nurseries in the UK. This brings with it a good level of common sense thinking, calmness under pressure, and other invaluable life skills.

I am a founder member of the Beonna project. In my role as Chairman of Benington Parish Council, a position that I have held since 2001, it was brought to my attention that All Saints Church was due to be made redundant. A village meeting was organised to find a way forward.

This led to the formation of Benington Community Heritage trust, of which I am also Chairman. Many years of hard and sometimes challenging work, has led us to this point - a beautifully restored and functional multi-use building that Benington and the wider area can be proud of.
