I’m the Managing Director at Westcotec, we design, manufacture, and install Intelligent Traffic Safety and Smart City equipment.
I joined the Sales Team at Westcotec having retired from the police after 30yrs service in 2015.
My final role was as Chief Inspector, Head of Roads Policing and Firearms Operations for Norfolk and Suffolk Police.
I’m married with 2 grown up children, my daughter is a solicitor, and my son works at Westcotec in a Business Development Role.
I became MD at Westcotec on the retirement of the founder and oversaw the transition into Employee Ownership, that being completed in December 2018
I have a truly national network through my company, and this is starting to expand internationally too. I can look at best practice, innovation and different approaches to problems and issues.
The Chamber of Commerce has been incredibly helpful in me being able to quickly learn from more experienced business leaders having been somewhat thrust in at the deep end of business management. I intend to work towards ensuring that it can continue that supporting role particularly for new businesses and new managers/owners.
I attend numerous events organised by the Chamber and will continue to do so in my new role on the Board.
