An aviation and flying nut since my youth, I spent the first half of my career as a business journalist and editor in the aviation industry. After that, in search of a new challenge and a bigger salary, I moved to a large US corporation, where I did a series of marketing and communications jobs. We moved to Beech in 2010. I took on responsibility for marketing and communications for Beech Village Hall in Summer 2020 and became Chair of the Management Committee in October 2025. I also do the production work for Beech News. |

I worked for a US multinational in the IT industry for nearly 40 years, running technical teams around the world. I developed a passion for technology and different cultures and an aversion to flying economy class. My family criticize my attention to detail and love of spreadsheets! When not poring over policy documents, I love to cycle, dog walk and garden, but not at the same time. |

I moved to Beech from Surrey in July 2022 with my family and we love living here because of the lovely environment and, of course, all of the people. I’m a project manager by trade, and am always keen to help local projects and get involved in community life. You can find me at the cafe most Fridays, as I do love a good cake! |

After 25 years living and working in London, I returned to my Altonian roots, settling in Beech with my family in 1999. If you’ve lived in the village for any time, you’ve probably spotted me as that crazy woman running the local byways in all-weather as I trained for yet another marathon. My career journey has been varied. It includes a long stint in travel industry sales and marketing, which involved plenty of globetrotting. In more recent years, I worked more locally as a clinical hypnotherapist and EMDR practitioner. I joined the Social Committee in early 2024 and have enjoyed working alongside my fellow team members on our various social events. I am really pleased that we have been able to launch our monthly film nights at the Screen by the Green and look forward to participating in further community initiatives. |
