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 .

I was born in the Black Country and moved to Bilbrook when I got married in 1982. I became familiar with the village as I was a youth leader at Codsall Youth Club from 1979, continuing in that role for almost 20 years. We have raised our family here and always enjoyed getting involved in various voluntary roles. I was Chair of Lane Green PTA for two years, and coached at Bilbrook Juniors for eight years. More recently, I was very happy to be part of Bilbrook Initiatives Hub, which provided some important community support, particularly during the Covid lockdown. I continue to help out with Bilbrook Repair Cafe and Friends of Bilbrook activities.

I always try to make a positive contribution towards our village, so when the opportunity to become a Parish Councillor arose, I was happy to take on the role.

I’ve lived in Bilbrook for 21 years and spent all my childhood here, so the village holds a special place in my heart. For the past 11 years—now heading into our 12th—I’ve run an events company.

I’m passionate about bringing people together and always eager to support events within the parish that help strengthen our local spirit.  

Recently, I was co-opted as a parish councillor, and I’m looking forward to making positive impacts and meaningful changes in the community through this new role.

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.
