I was educated at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Wakefield. I Graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University with a BA in Law. Since l984, I have been employed by Towells. Throughout that time, I have handled a varied, complex and substantial Case Load. I have had the conduct of virtually every type of Claim, ranging from those in the Small Claims Court to Planning Development Litigation. I have also dealt with a great many Cases in the Employment Tribunals, to include multi-party Actions where I have acted for Groups of up to 40 employees. That work is immensely challenging. I invariably work with the most experienced and able of Employment Counsel, to ensure that my clients benefit from a service which is second to none.

Outside of my employment, I am the Number 1 Supporter of Barnsley Football Club. My devotion to Barnsley FC has been constant since my infancy. In my remaining spare time, I attend gigs at various locations and perhaps one day I will make Glastonbury. When I am not watching footie or being deafened, I enjoy walking, cinema, reading and astronomy.
