I was a parent governor for about 10 years when our children were at Green Lane CE Primary School for about 10 years. My children attended Teesdale School, where I was also a co-opted governor for a number of years and I re-joined the Green Lane Governing body as a co-opted Governor in 2021.
Until recent retirement I was the director of a national innovation centre and a Professor in Innovation, my career spanned environmental research, adult skills and e-learning and economic development and I held several no-executive roles.
I am currently a member of the Finance, Premises, Personnel and High Force Committees.
