Management Team

SVA Chairman & Museum Curator

I was MD of our family company, we manufactured milk for major supermarkets and distributed frozen foods to local authorities. I believe that all individuals should reach their full potential.  The company gained Investors in People.

My voluntary positions included Non Executive Director and Vice Chairman of Essex Training and Enterprise Council, a National Training Awards Judge, a member of a Government FEFC Committee for Widening Participation in Further Education and a Non Executive Director of our Local Authority Enterprise Group. Following retirement and time abroad my husband and I now live in Sidmouth.  I volunteered for the Museum in 2016, became Museum Curator in 2019 and SVA Chairman in 2023.

Treasurer

After varied careers in law and finance, my wife and I ended up in Sidmouth quite unintentionally but soon found ourselves unable to leave. We were formerly active members of various Wildlife Trusts, so I am delighted to be a part of the SVA.

I have helped in the Museum, which includes being one of the town walk leaders, giving talks and writing articles about the town, since 2010 and was Museum Curator from 2015 to 2019. I am a Trustee on the Management committee.
