I have lived in the Consett area all of my life. Born at Murray House in 1966 I originally lived in Medomsley on North View then Benfieldside Road. I married in 1991 and moved to Park Street, then to Derwent Mews where I live to this day. I am currently employed as a Customer Relationship Manager for a Finance/Leasing & Fleet Management company and travel the country as part of my role. Due to my background and experience I feel that I best represent business and manufacturing in the area offering support and a voice to those within these fields. I am also involved with local motorcycle racing club at committee level and organise events in the area.
