Committee

Iain is a keen cyclist and serves on the committee of a local cycle club and also greatly enjoys walking the many country footpaths surrounding the village.
He is a qualified architect and has worked on major building developments in Saudi Arabia and London, notably the London Pavilion redevelopment in Piccadilly Circus. He was an associate with a large practice overseeing transport related projects, including Kings Cross, and Heathrow, Manchester, Stanstead and Gatwick Airports. His planning experience has been put to good use setting out the Fete.
He is married to Liz, a local lass, and they settled in Langton Green on his retirement in 2013.
