Biography

I am a Life Member of the Trust, and was elected as a Trustee in 2020 and Chair in June 2022.

I am from the industrial West Midlands and now live in Oxfordshire and Edinburgh. I am a keen walker and greatly value the benefits of walking in wild places. I am passionate about bringing these benefits to a wider audience across the UK.

I worked in civil engineering for all my career. When I retired in 2015, I was Managing Director of a specialist civil engineering consultancy. I led the organisation through a period of significant change, key to its success was ensuring that our staff were able to reach their full potential.

Since retirement, I have been involved with various organisations including government (as a Non- Executive Director and Board Chair for a UK Government Agency), and the voluntary sector (as a Trustee of two engineering charities). I am presently a Trustee and Chair of a small pension scheme, and a Non-Executive Director of the Ports of Jersey (Channel Islands), and Chair of their Risk Committee. I am an Honorary Visiting Professor at the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.
