This experience helped to build my ethos of the bereaved being best served by independent family owned Funeral Directors working within and for their communities. I have instilled this ethos on to all the staff and they continue to uphold the high standards within the business.

In addition to my career in Funeral Service, I was also heavily involved in Disaster Management from 1988, assisting in the aftermath of many major natural and aviation disasters.

Born in Leicester and educated in Wigston, I have lived in South West Leicestershire for many years and currently live in Countesthorpe with my wife, Sharon, who works in the business with me. I have two children, Megan and Jack. Megan has recently joined us in the business and Jack is hoping to pursue a career in the military, having recently started a Uniformed Services course at College.

My other interests are mainly sporting, I am still involved with my local club, Vipers RFC, where I have been a member since childhood, and enjoy supporting Leicester Tigers. I also enjoy keeping fit & active and regularly go to the gym and walking with Sharon.
