I’ve been a board member for the PST since 2015. Initially treasurer, I became chair in 2017 until 2023 on completion of the Jimmy Dickinson statue. I also represent the Trust on the Tony Goodall Fans Conference where I work on consultations on matters such as ticket pricing.
Since then I have reverted to treasurer. I am a Chartered Accountant and Chief Financial Officer for a local manufacturing company.
I represent the Trust nationally in the Football Supporters Association in their men’s EFL network where I was elected to their National Council dealing with matters of national football policy. I also represent the PST on their women’s football network. This involves joining regular engagement dialogs with the EFL, the FA and the WSL to put forward the views of fans across the game to the competition organisers that run football.
Additionally I am a member of the initial Fan Advisory Panel for the Independent Football Regulator, where we advise on the development of policy and guidance, as well as acting as a sounding board for issues that arise within the game.
Fan representation and engagement is something that I am deeply passionate about. Locally this applies at Pompey, making sure that fans voices are heard at the TGFC and Heritage and Advisory Board direct with the owners. Nationally it means ensuring that the powers that be in football the issues that affect all fans such as away ticket price abuses or changes to the traditions of football that we all grew up with.
I’m committed to continuing this work on behalf of Pompey fans.
