Biography

I am privileged to serve as your County Councillor for Central Lancashire, representing Reform UK. With nearly 40 years of experience in the transport and utility sectors, I bring a wealth of practical knowledge to my role.

My family shares a deep commitment to our community: my wife serves as a Matron in community healthcare, my son Joseph is dedicated to farming, and my daughter, at just 18, launched her own business last year. Together, we understand the challenges our community faces.

I entered politics out of frustration with the inefficient use of public funds. I have seen roads that do not meet the needs of our communities and believe we can spend our hard-earned money more effectively. In my 56 years, I have not seen so much discontent locally and nationally — friends in farming and hospitality have even contemplated giving up.

However, we do not back down; we stand up for what matters. This conviction prompted me to stand as a candidate for Reform UK. I take pride in representing the people of Lancashire and have successfully assisted residents and businesses in overcoming challenges. I remain committed to continuing this work and invite you to visit one of our local surgeries so we can discuss your concerns and needs directly.
