  • Jun 2019 - Feb 2021

  Having been involved in the development of a Business Improvement District in Ilkley, I am delighted to take on the role of BID Manager for my home town. For an initial 5 year term to May 2024, with the help of a committed group of volunteer Directors, I will deliver a variety of projects to enhance our town for the benefit of all. This role will enable me to showcase my best skills - organisation and planning, project delivery, creative thinking and, oh yes - talking to people! Coupled with extensive experience running my own businesses, I hope to make a real difference in the town I love. Show less
