The Lord Mayor of York and the Lord Mayor's Consort, 2024 to 2025
"I was born and raised in Leeds. After completing my education my first employment position was with a microfilm service bureau and I worked there for 10 years.
Since then I have worked primarily in the transport/delivery sector with positions at Federal Express, UPS and finally Asda. Along the way I did a stint as a self employed courier and wine delivery driver.
I have a big interest in music and sport, with 60s and 70s rock being my main passion, and I am an armchair supporter of Leeds United and Leeds Rhinos, although having lived in York for over 10 years I keep a keen eye on York City and the Knights.
York is a great place to live and work and despite being a relative newcomer I feel very much at home here.
