Living on the edge of the Peak District, my hobbies outside of work include walking and horse riding, a perfect way to enjoy the spectacular views. I’m also a keen photographer and cook and when I’m not outside, I’m a ‘proper’ pub and live music enthusiast.

I’m passionate about where I live and as part of my job, I am a director of and run a local business group called Macclesfield Means Business, which helps to promote the town’s assets and commercial success.
