After my first wife died in 2006, my family and I fundraised for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, one of our legacy charities. I’ve unfortunately had several others close to me who have also experienced breast cancer, including a dear friend who died of secondary breast cancer in 2022. I know how Breast Cancer Now helps people, so I welcome the opportunity to contribute to our vision.
For 10 years I was the director of corporate services at Crisis, the national charity for homeless people, until I retired in 2020.
Before joining Crisis, I qualified as a chartered accountant with Price Waterhouse. And I spent 24 years in the financial services industry in senior finance and operations roles.
I’m also a trustee and treasurer of UK for UNHCR and Fight for Sight. And I’ve previously served as a trustee of several other charities.
I know how important it is to both support those with breast cancer and find new and improved treatments, so Breast Cancer Now’s combination of research and services resonates strongly. I enjoy being on the board as, together with some formidable colleagues, I am able to bring my skills and experience to benefit the charity’s beneficiaries, now and in the future.
