On leaving Colyton Grammar School, I worked for a few months in ground services at Exeter Airport for Westpoint Airlines. However, ambition led to twenty five years in banking and fifteen years as a Branch Manager. This was followed by twenty-seven years as a General Manager working in retail, holiday accommodation, catering and tourism based industries for employers JC & BR Holland based in Dartmouth.  I also worked as a freelance correspondent and rowing reporter for the Herald Express for twenty years and I've been the Clerk/Treasurer to St Petrox Trust Lands for over thirty years.

 

My main hobbies include rowing (river, coastal, gig, seine boat, whaler and ocean rowing) and being a member of Rotary International for over thirty-five years, having held most of the offices in the Dartmouth Club. I have been President twice and was recently presented with a sapphire award.

 

I have also had a long association with the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, having joined the committee in 1975, including a 12-year spell as secretary and two terms as Chairman. I am now an Honorary Steward and President.

 

My interests include a special attachment to Dartmouth and Kingswear, numismatics (the study and collecting of coins and medals), at which I would like to spend more time!
