I am honoured to be High Sheriff of Leicestershire for 2021/22. As many of you are aware I'm a proud Leicester lad and have live all my life in Leicestershire, and I can think of no better way to repay the county where I was born, grew up and went on to found my business, than to undertake this historical civic duty and raise some much needed funds for my chosen charities.

Throughout the year I will host a number of events - the aim of which will be to raise funds for five local charities. I'm hoping that during the release phase of the pandemic to bring business, civic and charitable organisations together and better align them for the complex task ahead as we head out into the 'new normal' post pandemic.

Our aim is to raise £30,000 for my chosen charities in Leicestershire and any excess funds will be donated to suitable national charities.

All costs associated with any donations made, events held and expenses incurred during the year will be 100% paid and covered by me.
