After leaving BGS in 1985 I went to Loughborough University to read Geography, graduating from there in 1988. I spent the next 20 years in careers in the Travel Industry, and in Finance, as well as some time out travelling the world.
In 2008 my husband and I bought a derelict barn in Norfolk which we spent the next few years converting into the wonderful home we still live in today.

Started at BGS in 1MAT in September 1980. Left at Easter 1986 (Lower Sixth) as I needed to earn my own keep! At school I planned on completing my A Levels, doing a B.Ed and going on to teach in primary. Instead I did a crash secretarial course and eventually became a PA before becoming a full time mum of two. My daughter subsequently followed me to BGS (2009 - 2015). I eventually achieved my ambition of working in a primary school - but only in the school office! I still live in Welling and regularly drive or walk past BGS.

I had a 30 year career in BT, formerly Post Office Telecommunications, which took me into senior management. Whilst working there I obtained a BA in History at Birkbeck. After taking early retirement from BT, I obtained at UCL an MA in Slavonic and East European History. I then had a 'post-retirement' job in the Foreign Office. I have been married to Cathy for over fifty years and have a daughter and two grandchildren. We have been fortunate enough to have travelled to seventy countries spanning all seven continents.
