I am a founding Member and Trustee of the Flying High Trust and, as a National Leader of Governance, I am a governor on six other governing bodies, two of which I chair. I am a CIPFA qualified accountant with a background of specialising in education / school finance at the Local Education Authority. This has meant that I have been an influential lead on the various governing bodies I support, in financial matters and data analysis, in addition to providing leadership support on strategic direction, roles / responsibilities and recruitment. I look forward to working with Brooklands on its journey of improvement.
