Nick has a broad range of experience and adopts a transformative approach that brings fresh thinking, energy and enthusiasm. He represents the Council on several key groups including Suffolk’s Corporate Parenting Board and Coastal Partnership East. Nick has a passion for communities and was fundamental in the development of the Council’s innovative community partnership model, shaping the direction of our work in the community based on a data and early intervention approach.
