Professional background 39 years in the leisure industry – 23 years in local government and 16 in leisure trusts. Director of various community not-for-profit boards and a member of CIMSPA, Sporta and Ella. Best piece of advice you’ve ever been given No job is too small or too insignificant, so if you expect your people to do it, show them that you will too! People might be surprised to know that... I once played the drums in a concert in Middlesbrough Town Hall.
Professional background I trained as a PE teacher but moved into leisure after a year at the chalk face. Now in my 34th year in leisure – initially in the public sector, and as MD with Tees Active since forming in 2004. I’m Chair of the Make Your Move board, a national collaboration between Sport England and sporta. Best piece of advice you’ve ever been given Abraham Lincoln said: ‘Your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.’ People might be surprised to know that... I like to write and have had four books published.
