After taking early retirement, I took the opportunity to use my skills to add value, by becoming a school governor, supporting school leaders in providing the best possible educational environment for the children. I joined the Hillcroft SSB at the end of November 2019 where I am now chair of the SSB. In addition to being a governor at six schools in total, a secondary school, special school and four primary schools I am also a member of the GLF Finance committee.  

I regularly undertake training to keep up with changes and to broaden my knowledge.
