Chair : Andrew Morrell
I have lived in Bournmoor with my wife and daughter since 2011 having grown up in nearby Washington. I can often be seen walking my dog around our wonderful village and the surrounding area.
I am an Independent Financial Advisor and I run 3 companies with my wife, a financial services company, a legal services company and a property company. All of these are run out of our home here in Bournmoor.
I was keen to join the Parish Council so that I can give back to a community that has welcomed me with open arms, and I hope to help wherever I can to keep this great community thriving

I joined Bournmoor Parish in 2020, having been a clerk at Little Lumley Parish since 2016. I've always been interested in the local community and have often been actively involved in local community groups such as Woodlea PTA, Bournmoor Cricket Club and am on the Executive Committee for Houghton Harriers - I'm always looking for opportunities to improve and support the areas in which I live.
