I have lived in Bilbrook for over 30 years along with my wife Jane and our 3 children who all grew up and were educated in our village. I have four wonderful grandchildren who keep me young. Since living here I have set up and ran Bilbrook Ladies FC for over 8 years. They won several major honours in both league and cup. After hanging up my football boots I went onto charity costume marathon running and have raised just over 137k in past 14 years and along with my friend, Earl broke Guinness World records and received awards from the BBC. We are always looking to help others.
I work and breathe my village and also I work and support our Twentyman committee who look events at and the running of our village hall. I care about our community. I have been on the Parish Council for a couple of years and like to get involved in a lot of the great work the Parish council do. You might have seen me as a character during the village light switch on, carrying the Parish flag during Remembrance Sunday or trotting around the streets in some costume or another.
I also support Lane Green First School PTA each Christmas, dropping off children presents and character visits along with helping and coaching /refereeing at Lane Green School in the football club and school matches .

My family has been part of the Bilbrook community since 1920. Having grown up here, I am committed to the people and the future of our village. My background in business and management has provided me with the practical experience needed to handle the responsibilities of a councillor.
My primary aim is to support the next generation by providing our young people with a strong sense of purpose and direction. I am focused on championing mental well-being initiatives, creating engaging outdoor activities to encourage children to step away from their computers, and supporting community programmes that help our youth grow into resilient, confident adults.

I have lived in Bilbrook for 24 years, moving from Shropshire in 2002. I have recently retired after 41 years working for various Local Authorities. Most recently I worked for Telford & Wrekin Council for 35 years in their Finance team specialising in Leisure and competitive commercial services.

I grew up in the village and I live with my family in Bilbrook. Also, my extended family live in the village and my children have grown up here and attended the local schools.
I’ve seen the way that Bilbrook has grown and developed throughout my life and one thing that stands out for me about Bilbrook is the community and the way that they all work together. I love that we have so many different green spaces, I live by Jubilee Woods and my family and I go walking a lot, (dogs included).
I like to help and make a difference. I helped during the covid lockdowns helping with the food parcels for families that Bilbrook Initiatives Hub distributed. I’ve volunteered for other organisations too as giving my time to help is something that I feel passionate about.
