I am West Sussex County Councillor for Cuckfield and Lucastes - my division also includes the villages of Bolnore, Ansty & Staplefield and extends from Paddockhall Rd, Haywards Heath in the east to the A23 in the west. I am the Deputy Cabinet Member for Finance & Resources and an Advisor on Youth Matters. I am also Chairman of the Conservative Group and a member of the Governance Committee.

As Chairman of Ansty & Staplefield Parish Council, I am pleased that we have improved services again this year whilst freezing council tax for the fourth successive year. 

A self-taught guitarist, I run my own guitar importing business. I’m the guitarist in Slight Return, the well-known Sussex rock and blues band.  I hope to see you at one of our gigs – we play at many pubs, clubs and private functions in the Mid-Sussex area.

I’m a keen cricketer and am Chairman of Staplefield Cricket Club where I’ve played since 1985.  I’m a great believer in promoting sports for all ages particularly for the young. I'm also a Governor of Warden Park School and St Mark's School, Staplefield.

My wife Jan and I have lived in Mid-Sussex for 25 years,  Jan is a teacher at Twineham Primary School.  Together we have three children Jamie 23, Emily 21 and Selina 13.
