I’ve been Treasurer of C A Plus since 2005. I’m a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, (CIPFA) having qualified at Swindon, where I was employed by Thamesdown Borough Council. Also a graduate of Hull University in Geography and was a student there during the 1960s. I came to Nottingham in 1978 and now consider myself to be a local on the grounds of length of residency. Currently employed by Nottingham City Council as an accountant with specific responsibility for housing finance. I am also a member of CIPFA's Housing Panel and have been associated with a number of publications covering housing related finance topics.

I have four grown up children, and in any spare time that is left, my interests cover cycling and anything French. Holidays generally consist of such fun activities as cycling the whole of the west coast of France and other such fun tours that some might consider a challenge.
