I am very pleased and honoured to have been elected as the Conservative Borough Councillor for Brookman’s Park & Little Heath also covering the villages of Essendon and Wildhill.
I have lived near Essendon since 2011. I have broad life experiences outside of politics, having worked for over 30 years in the police. When I left the police, I joined London 2012 where I laid the foundations for strategic delivery of security for the football tournament. I also ran my own security company working with sport and corporate clients and latterly as a Safety & Security Consultant for The Football Association. This work has taken me across the globe and relies on working in a calm and considered manner, building partnerships and engagement with local law enforcement and government security to deliver secure and safe events. I am confident that these skills will help me in my new role as a Borough Councillor.
I enjoy living in Welwyn Hatfield and want to play an active part in representing residents at Borough Council and meeting with those that may need my help and support in the future.
