Former Governors and Associates

I am a Chartered Management Accountant (CIMA), Fellow of the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and an Economics graduate. I have over 15 years' corporate experience in various industries and serve on the board for a major Pensions Trust. Passionate about education, I retrained as a Fellow of HEA, training finance professionals and lawyers. I provide consultancy services on financial and business development, and also work with a national debt charity.

I have a real desire to contribute to the progress of young people, championing not just excellence in academics but providing space for students to thrive and reach their full potential in a caring, encouraging environment. I am married and have three teenage children, one of whom is at TWGSB.
