My family and I moved to Tidworth from a small village outside Devizes 20+ years ago when our son was 3. As he progressed through the school years I, like many parents, became involved with the local pre-schools.

For the last 15 years I have been employed by a local company who specialise in manufacturing water slides for leisure centres and theme parks throughout the UK and Europe, as well as products for the construction industry. My responsibilities here include recruitment, health and safety, sales marketing and finance.

I was initially co-opted onto the Council in 2014 and following the Local Elections in May 2017, am now an elected member of the Council sitting on the Community Engagement Committee. I also attend the Child Poverty Networking and Information meetings.

In my spare time I help our son Mark with his Photography Business and I am fully behind trying to attract new business to the Town along with helping to sustain existing businesses.
