My work with the Third Sector includes participating in a wide range of voluntary organisations eg co-ops, friendly societies and social enterprises. I currently a member of the Executive Committee of the London Federation of Housing Co-op. For many years I was the vice Chair of CDS Co-operatives, which is the largest secondary housing co-op in London and the South East. I was also involved with the co-op retail sector as an elected member of the Co-op Group's North London Area Committee prior to the Society's recent re-organisation.

 

 

I was a senior manager of Millbank Studios which is the largest TV news facility in Westminster until I retired in 2001. Millbank Studios specializes in parliamentary news coverage. I also managed the company's contract to provide the technical facilities for the BBC Parliament channel.
