Location New Forest, Hampshire, United Kingdom
Introduction I have a BSc Honours degree in Applied Chemistry. After working in detergent research for a short while I then spent 17 years teaching science. Following that I ran my own successful property company with my wife Andrea. I have been a New Forest District Councillor since 1999. I was involved in the campaign to try to keep Al Gore's political propaganda film out of English schools. I have three grown up sons and seven grandchildren. Three have now left school while the others are currently (2023) aged 5, 7, 14, and 16. I see them regularly and take a great interest in their education.
