I grew up in Yorkshire and have lived in Cheshire for over 25 years. I am a local mum to five children ranging in age from primary school to grown up!

My experience as a mum to neuro-diverse children means I have a keen interest in inclusion and try to implement this in Dales- a local shop that I manage with my husband Joe. Dales has been in his family for 97 years and we are very proud to be a small part of that.

My hobbies are all things craft related - knitting and furniture painting are my favourites. I am also studying British Sign Language
