I have two grown up children at home who have both grown up with their Mum working at the SACU for most of their lives so the SACU has been a constant in their lives too. My son James came to work for a week in the office when he was at school and enjoyed it very much. I have had the privilege in the last 16 years of meeting and working with many people which I love, I am very much a peoples person. I always endeavour to do the best I can for the riders and their racing and the Office. I have seen many changes over the years within the SACU and I am proud and excited to be playing a part in the launch of our new GoMembership license system and our new website. My role within the SACU and motorcycle sport is a big part of my life, long may it continue. New and exciting times ahead for us all.
