Meet the Team

  • My role is Chair of Trustees and I also helped set up Just42 back in 2002. I have been involved ever since. My motivation for being involved in Just 42 is to show something of God’s love to the next generation in practical ways through our projects, clubs and events. It is inspiring to see young people engaged in their community, learning new skills, making new friends and exploring their faith.

    Outside of Just42 I work as a company owner/ director, and am a member of St John’s, Woodbridge. I’m married with four grown up children. In my spare time I enjoy road biking, golf and running.
