Councillors

Legal background spanning almost 50 years. Now retired. Married to Laura with three children and eight grandchildren. Lived in Helpston for 40 years. Avid reader, who particularly enjoys music, walking, cycling, food & wine and travel.

I’ve been a councillor since March 2025 and have lived in Helpston since 2017. With a degree in Criminology and Contemporary Culture and a PGCE in Primary Education, I’ve taught in primary schools for 17 years and currently work part-time in a local Peterborough school. I’m also part of the Education Team at Burghley House. I'm a proud mum of a John Clare School pupil and enjoy exploring family and local history.

Career in construction since 2002. Married to Sophie with two sons - Archie-Mac and Raffy and two labradors - Wilson and Monty. Lived in Helpston since 2018. Lived in Peterborough in 1984. Enjoys motorsport cycling running and socialising.

I am a dentist having worked in Stamford for many years and have lived in Helpston for nearly forty years. My wife Carolyn and I have two grown-up children who fled the nest many years ago. I have been a Parish Councillor for about twelve years and a governor at John Clare School for over quarter of a century. Interests are playing hockey and bowls, trying to keep fit and watching all sport.

I have lived in Helpston since 2001.  Just love the village.  I have had the pleasure of supporting the school while my daughters, Annabelle and Charlotte, enjoyed their time there.  Have spent some time on the Village Hall and Tennis Club Committees before joining the Parish Council in 2021. I am fortunate to run a great team at Alfresco Landscaping by day and at weekends, enjoy some quality family time plus a little tennis and golf when the time allows.

I moved to Helpston in 1991 with my wife Maddy and our two boys and joined the Council in 2021. I began my career in IT and Software Development, later transitioning into Project Management where I oversaw complex, multi-disciplinary projects both within the UK and internationally. Finally, I started several consultancies in London, providing expertise in IT, Business Development, and School Construction. I aim to apply my skills to support the people and enhance the community's wellbeing in the Parish. I look forward to the robust debates, discussions and challenges ahead!
