have been fortunate to live in the City for the past 40 years and in the same house with my wife Sally for 35 of these. We have been blessed with 2 children and so far, 2 grandchildren who also live nearby.Over this time we have engaged with many local organisations such as school groups and football teams plus local ones in Hempsted. This means that I am able to bring a wide range of knowledge and experience to my role as a City councillor. My working life has been in Gloucester and I have run several businesses with my wife and also worked as a salesman, currently in the caravan industry. I have been very fortunate to meet so many Gloucester people during my life and I am now able to give back something to the City I love. It is an honour and a privilege to serve as a Cabinet member and so help shape both current services and the future of our Gloucester.
