Who we are

A Non-Executive Director and Board Advisor with over 20 years of leadership experience across multiple sectors. Passionate about fostering purpose driven organisations, I leverage my expertise in technology and strategic planning to support organisations that prioritise social impact alongside profitability.

I served as our Club President between 2019-2022 and elected to serve as District Governor for North Wales & North West England for 2026-2027.

Beyond my professional life, I am a proud father of three daughters and grandfather to two wonderful grandsons. I have a deep love for the outdoors, with mountaineering being one of my greatest passions.

Currently in my second year as President of the City of Liverpool Club, a very rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable responsibility which I have been truly honoured to undertake. 

I have recently ‘retired’ from my senior management role within the charity sector and I am now preparing to take on the challenge of the ‘Chief of Staff’ role for my husband, Andrew, in his upcoming year as District Governor for District 1180.

I am looking forward to being able to enjoy the ‘good life’, to reset the work/life balance and to have the amazing opportunity to have more time to spend focusing on giving back. I have three wonderful daughters and two gorgeous grandsons who I love spending time with making happy memories. I love to spend time in the great outdoors, walking, visiting new places and enjoying nature.

A sixty something, retired wine merchant who was born and raised on the Wirral but has resided in Waterloo for nearly 30 years now. Happily married to Diana with two dogs to keep us active! I have two wonderful sons from my first marriage; David and Jonathan, who are both happy and busy raising families in Queensland! I enjoy spending time with family, food and drink, most sports, birdwatching and my main leisure activity is fishing, both coarse and game. 

My Rotary journey started in 2009 as a charter member of what was then Liverpool City Rotary Club. Since merging with the original Liverpool Rotary club, I have been honoured to serve as president and am currently our Rotary Foundation lead.

I am a retired Chartered Surveyor and have worked worked in Liverpool all my life. I have been a member of Rotary for 45 years. I am married with two children and 4 grandchildren and live in Freshfield. My interest are fairly catholic, from LFC and gardening to classical music and Theatre. I am treasurer of the Club.

I am a Reader in Law and Associate Dean Global Engagement at Liverpool John Moores University. I joined the City of Liverpool Rotary Club (the Club) in 2009. My first officer positions in Rotary were in International, where I was the Club's International Officer and a member of the District International Committee. Between 2016-2017, I was the Club's President. After a year's presidency, I took up the role of Assistant District Governor between 2017-2021. I am now responsible for club development and membership. In my spare time, I enjoy a range of hobbies. For twelve years, I sang with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir. I enjoy travelling, triathlons, tennis and clay pigeon shooting.

Daniel joined Rotary in 2010 at the Rotary Club of Shanghai, where he lived and worked for 12 years. After moving to the UK with his family, he became a member of the City of Liverpool Rotary Club at the end of 2019. He is the Managing Director of a German-based machine manufacturer and has built his career leading international teams and driving business development across borders. Daniel brings a global perspective, a strong sense of community, and a hands-on approach to Rotary service

I originally joined Rotary through my company’s CSR programme, as charity work has always been important to me. I’ve always believed that helping others matters, and Rotary is the perfect outlet for that — supporting people and organisations both locally and overseas.

 I have spent 19 years running Cubs, and later Beavers, within Scouting. Alongside leading the sections, I’ve organised fundraising initiatives for the group and helped maintain our hut to keep it clean, safe, and usable for everyone.

I’m proud to be part of a group of likeminded people within Rotary. Our meetings are fun, engaging, and genuinely welcoming — it feels good to be surrounded by people who share the same passion for making a difference.

I have spent my entire career in Financial Services, which has spanned over 50 years. I retired from full time employment as Chief Executive of Royal Liver Assurance in September 2011 but I am currently a Non-Executive Director of a Friendly Society based in Manchester. I am an Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute and a former President of the Insurance Institute of Liverpool. I sit on the Trustee Boards of two charities based in Liverpool. I am, of course, a proud Rotarian and a former President of our Club.

 Outside of those areas, I maintain a keen interest in 20th Century history and foreign travel. I also have a lifetime of interest and experience in football at all levels.  I am currently the Vice-Chairman of a local Junior Football League Management Committee.  Now of an age where participation in a playing capacity is sadly beyond me, I watch from the comfort of the stands as a season ticket holder of a Premier League club.

A Chartered Tax Adviser by profession, I have spent over 35 years advising businesses, individuals and trustees on all areas of taxation compliance and planning. Currently working at Mitchell Charlesworth, a Northwest  regional accountancy practice. 

I am married with a teenage daughter who has a passion for dance and performing in musicals. When I am not acting as her taxi, any leisure time left is taken up with sailing and occasionally golf!

I joined Rotary in 2009 as a charter member of what was then Liverpool City Rotary Club, which has since merged with the original Liverpool Rotary club.

A retired solicitor having specialised in commercial property but with a long standing involvement in charities.  Having joined the Club in 1985 I have served as President in 1995-96, 2010-11 and 2015-16 and as Secretary on a number of occasions during that time.

In addition to Rotary, my hobbies include golf as a member of Heswall Golf Club and aeronautics as an affiliate member of the Royal Aeronautical Society.

A musician and writer, I’ve been a Rotary member since 1992.  I was a member of Birkenhead Rotary Club and moved over the water to my present club more than a decade ago.

I worked as a journalist for many years at organisations including the BBC, national and regional newspapers.  As a freelancer, I worked for a wide range of print and broadcast outlets, as well as in public relations. I was a senior lecturer in journalism at Liverpool John Moores University for more than 20 years where my principal research area looked in depth at Welsh-language journalism.  I still work as a freelancer writer for music magazines, as a performer and accompanist and as a teacher of piano, organ and music theory at Wirral School of Music and also spend time composing music.
