I have lived in and around the Norwich area for over 30 years.  I worked at Norwich Union (now Aviva) from 1993 until 2009, the last few years working in a project management environment as a senior technician in a change delivery role, and for the last 12 months as a manager of a small IT team.

I have business qualifications in Japanese efficiency (Lean/Six Sigma) and project management (PRINCE2), and I have a BA Honours degree in Philosophy awarded by the University of East Anglia.  I'm currently studying a part-time Masters degree in International Relations and European Studies.
