About
A little moreI am a father of four boys, a husband, and Group Lead Volunteer at 4th Ashby. I started as an accounting trainee, qualified as an Accounting Technician in local government, and after a spell as an internal auditor became Commercial Manager for a group of museums. The years since have been visitor attractions, ticketing, retail and membership software.
I am a Fellow of the Association of Accounting Technicians and have lectured in accounts at a local college. I live near Ashby de la Zouch, in the National Forest, and use that landscape for family, Scouting and my own time.
