Before LWN, I ran my own successful business, worked for several MPs and was a Regional Organiser in the West Midlands.
I’ve been a Councillor and was a European candidate in the 2004 Elections.
I love open water swimming! And find happiness and joy swimming in cold lakes in the Winter. I’m competitive and love a challenge, so having nearly got to France by swimming the English Channel, I think my next swimming adventure will be swimming the length of Loch Lomond or an official Ice Mile...
I live in Staffordshire now but I'm Yorkshire born and bred. I have two children, Joseph who is 15 and is a budding musician and Lyra who is 9 and is such a beautiful soul. Lyra has complex needs, along with a rare genetic condition so just like Daddy Pig ‘I’m a bit of an expert’ on all things DNA, epilepsy and SEND.
