I am a trustee for the Cheshire based charity Friends for Leisure. Friends for Leisure arranges activities from one-to-one friendships through to group activities, such as drama and sports sessions, for disabled children & young people aged 5-21 who live in Cheshire East. We also help our children and young people access activities of their choice, with or without a volunteer friend. As part of this role I am helping to market to and recruit young male volunteers into a one to one friendship with a young person. I also occasionally volunteer at their group sessions in Congleton, Macclesfield or Crewe.

Jan 2015 - Jul 2019
I am a Tutor, Assessor and IQA at Total People working in their Digital Sector. Developing on my previous experience and MORE Training, I will be working alongside traditional conventional printing companies, as well as digital media and IT companies, delivering a range of digital apprenticeships and qualifications in the IT, Design, Web and Print sectors. Best of all for me personally, I am involved in training and teaching in both my own courses in IT and Printing, as well as employability and digital skills courses run by Total People.

Councillor
-
May 2015 - May 2019
In May 2015, I put myself forward as a Conservative candidate for the Congleton Town Council. At the general election I had the good fortunate to be elected, and I will do my utmost to serve the interests of Congleton town. In particular I look to serve small business enterprises, and want to promote apprenticeships and help as many people as I can get into work.

Mayor
-
May 2017 - May 2018
I have been elected Mayor of Congleton. This has given me a fantastic opportunity to see the positive and exciting things that are happening in Congleton. It has been eye opening to see the shear quantity of voluntary organisations and causes that are active in the town, and to encourage people to be a part of this. I come from a poor background, and have had a difficult and unconventional upbringing, particularly in my teenage years. Because of this I hope to be open, honest and approachable, and to set a modern and positive example to encourage other people of all backgrounds to actively engage in local causes, in spite of any preconceptions or expected norms.I am so proud to be a resident of this town and I hope and pray I do justice to this fantastic opportunity.

Deputy Mayor
-
May 2016 - May 2017
In my role as Councillor at Congleton Town Council, I have been elected as the deputy Mayor for the year 2016-17. In this, my ambition is to help out local small businesses by encouraging apprenticeships for young people; this is something I feel passionate about. By representing my local council I hope that my presence will encourage more young people age 16-30 to get involved in local politics, and I would like to help my generation understand the importance of budgeting, financial planning and developing their own personal business potential.

Starting at the bottom; my duties currently include working with oracle based database software and remote support terminal server software such as Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange. Mostly I provide IT support for software users and their accounts, this includes advice and guidance as well as account administration and basic maintenance.

Print Technician
-
Dec 2013 - Apr 2014
After several years away from the workshop environment, I am back on the shop floor working with a range of print equipment, such as guillotines, folding machines, and other finishing equipment, including my personal favourite; the Heidelberg 1960 cylinder. This particular machine is a perfect example of over engineering; where modern machinery consists of sensors and electrical motors and clutches, this machine has a single electric motor, and all the moving parts are driven by perfectly machined gears, cams and followers. Such engineering mastery we'll never witness again as there is little need for it any more, however being exposed to this type of machinery helps fuel one of my other hobbies, letterpress work.
