"I came to Britain in the early 1970s and professionally qualified in Marketing, Advertising, Public Relations and Applied Humanities. I started my working career in the Civil service (Solicitor and High Court Division), then moved on to the Computer Industry and the Automotive Sector respectively. I later joined a London-based multinational Fairgate Group as Managing Director and Group Secretary. I held a number of other Directorship positions and became Regional Director with responsibility for the Group operations and over 2,000 employees in the UK, France, Switzerland and sub-Sahara Africa.
I have lived in Hertfordshire for over forty years and as a Councillor for over nearly eighteen years. I am married with four children and truly cherish “the warmth and friendship” of the people of our County. I believe in upholding standards, values and ethos that reflect examples of Best Practice. Furthermore, that “Respect and trust of the Community has to be earned through dedication, delivery and inclusiveness”.
I was also humble and most privileged to serve as Deputy and then Mayor of The Borough of Dacorum from 2014 to 2016. I remain indebted to the People of the Borough for supporting our Agenda of Community Engagement by using our Year to reach out to Schools, Colleges, Faith Leaders, Local champions, Ambulance personnel, Fire Brigade, the Police, Army, Health and Care Home workers, Residents, Voluntary Organisations, Churches, Mosques, Charities, Hospices, Local businesses and Traders".
