Why I'm standing

I am retired. I have a lifetime experience in international business. I see it as a responsibility to give back.

About me

I have directed and managed businesses in a wide range of businesses and public sector organisations. I have a keen interest in restoration of environment, and helping put in place initiatives for people less fortunate. I am not a politician and I don't wish to be. If elected, I will serve one term only.

My priorities
  1. Build prosperity to generate more employment opportunities for local people.
  2. Enhance a stronger sense of identity that is outward looking and inclusive.
  3. Restore the marine and land environments.
