Association Officers

I am the Leader of the Sunderland Conservatives and a Councillor for Barnes Ward.

At present, I am also Chairman of the Northumberland, Tyne and Wear Conservatives Area Management Executive.

I currently serve as a councillor for Fulwell ward, as well as Deputy Leader of the Council Group and Chairman of the Association.

I currently serve as Deputy Chairman (Political) - a wide-ranging brief that gives me responsibilities from campaigns and policy to maintaining this website.

I am currently the Deputy Chairman (Membership) of the Association, as well as Events Officers for the Young Conservatives and the Council Candidate for St Michael's Ward.

From 2020 until the role was abolished in 2021, I was Events Officer for the Association.

I am a Chartered Accountant and work at a manufacturing company in South Shields.  I have lived within the City of Sunderland for most of my life and currently live in Teal Farm.

I am the Conservative candidate for St Anne’s Ward in the May 2021 local elections. 

My main base for politics in Sunderland has been St Michael’s ward, where I have lived for over 60 years.

I am the the Association Secretary.

As a life long resident of Sunderland, I understand exactly what it is we as a city have to offer the country. I come from a family that has worked in industry and it is something I now do myself.
