I graduated in French Literature from Bangor University in 1970. I started working as a Chartered Accountant with Deloitte & Co in Manchester and Brussels before embarking on a diverse, international career in financial and general management in the public and private sectors. I spent seven years with UNICEF as a Regional Auditor (Africa and South Asia) and a Country Representative (Guinea and Lebanon) before returning to live in St Asaph. I have helped companies in North Wales with grant applications and financial forecasting and, although retired, I am still involved with start-up companies. My wife and I have lived in St Asaph for the last 30 years where we have raised three sons.
