I have lived in and around Tunbridge Wells most of my life.  I have five sons.  The younger three being Judd boys - Zachary, Samuel  and Daniel. For myself, I attended Canford School and graduated in Music from Durham University.  My wife Rachel teaches at St Ronan’s School in Hawkhurst, as assistant deputy head of pastoral care.  

I have more than thirty years’ experience in marketing and communications, working in the UK and the USA and specialising in the financial and professional services sectors most recently working with companies in renewable energy and natural capital, which are making a positive environmental impact.

Since 2015, I have been a member of the school’s Development Fundraising Committee and am heartened by the amount of support and parental engagement fostered by the school.   I encouraged my boys to make the most of the outstanding opportunities and facilities offered by Judd, which they did.    

In my spare time I play squash, tennis, golf, the piano and am a keen sailor.
