I joined the Independent Living Centre in September 2016 as an Admin Officer, having previously worked as a Receptionist at a Veterinary Practice for 6 years. I was pleased to become Office Manager in March 2021, then Centre Manager in October 2022, before taking over the role of Acting Chief Executive in June 2024. 

In my spare time you can find me reading thrillers on my Kindle with my pet chinchilla; watching live shows, including music, comedy, and magic; or breaking out of escape rooms around the UK with my husband.

Bio coming soon.

I have worked as an Occupational Therapy Assistant, providing information and supporting the OT within their assessments since 2003. I find the daily variety of my role very rewarding, and seeing how trying a piece of equipment or a new technique can restore someone’s independence gives me great job satisfaction.

In my spare time I like to spend time visiting the coast, enjoying the countryside, and reading to relax.

I have been married to my wife Susan for 34 years and we have two grown up boys. I enjoy playing keyboard instruments and love photography, and walking and training my two Cavaliers.

I enjoy working at the ILC, as it’s massively rewarding helping to find solutions to aid daily living, thus enabling people to live as independently as possible.
