Gary comes from a family based in the North East of England but was born and raised in Suffolk before moving to North West Ipswich in 2012.

Gary has a passion for sports and is delighted to see the progress at Whitton United football club where he has fond memories of playing as a visitor in his youth. Gary was a long-term club cricketer and is a qualified ECB youth coach. From that background, he believes in the power of sport particularly for young people and is keen to promote opportunities for all in this area.

Gary owns and operates his own business out of Ipswich and is a big supporter of local businesses in the area and would like the opportunity to use these passions for good in Whitton and Ipswich as a whole.
