John has lived in the area since 1986, married to wife Ann for 47 years, John has 2 children, 5 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. So you can guess that his is getting on a bit. John took early retirement at the age of 56, from being a sales director and a branch manager for a national electrical wholesaler.
John has been a County Councillor, a District Councillor for the area and a Parish Councillor for both Hawks Green and Norton Canes and an executive member on Staffordshire’s Parish Council Association.
Since retiring John has volunteered in the area as treasurer of a local football team, sat on the safer neighbourhood police panel, Chair of governors at a local primary school, governor at a Hednesford Academy and a governor at a primary school in Norton Canes. John participates in the speed watch groups for the local area, he also volunteers at the local library and as Chair of trustees at Hayes Green Community Centre.
I really believe with my experience and skills, I can utilise these to enhance a better quality of life for the residents and children in the community.
