Hello everyone, and welcome.

For those who don’t know me yet, I’m a lifelong resident of Great Yarmouth. I was educated locally, including at the former Boys’ Great Yarmouth Grammar School, and my working life began with a small shipping company on the River Yare. From those early days, my career took me around the world, with senior leadership roles in major energy hubs including Houston, Dubai, and Aberdeen.

Over several decades I have served in senior management and Managing Director positions across energy, waste, logistics, and fuel supply chain businesses. I’ve had the privilege of leading large teams of more than 1,000 people and overseeing businesses with revenues of many hundreds of millions of pounds. Throughout that time, my focus has always been the same: strong leadership, transparency, teamwork, and delivering results.

That is why I am supporting Rupert Lowe and standing as a candidate for Great Yarmouth First at this exciting moment of political change. I believe Rupert is someone who says what he means and does what he says — something people across the country are rightly demanding from their representatives.

Great Yarmouth has enormous potential. With the right leadership, the right priorities, and people who genuinely care about the future of our town, I believe we can put the “Great” back into Great Yarmouth.

Thank you for being here, for taking an interest, and for being part of the conversation. I look forward to hearing your views and working together for the future of our community.
