Trustees

John has been a Trustee of the Branch for many years. He has also been a regional representative and member of the national council. John along with his late wife Julie once ran an animal centre and he is very involved in fundraising in the North Norfolk area.

I moved to Norfolk a couple of years ago after a successful career in Financial Services with various senior roles predominantly in London and Hong Kong and 10 years as a Commercial Director in Further Education. I have a number of interests including an involvement in various sports and volunteering with the National Trust. I am delighted to have been appointed as a Trustee and am keen to link my business experience with a strong interest in animal welfare and in particular look at ways in how we can increase the Branch’s revenue and activities.

I decided to apply to become a trustee as I love being around all types of animals.  I have been lucky enough to have horses, cats (all rescue), geese and llamas which have always kept me busy. I am very passionate about everything I do and take the welfare and safety of animals very seriously.  My husband and I run our own business, with my role being either a supply chain project manager or a planning Director so I am very focused and results driven.  I have been a volunteer driver for the Branch and so I am familiar with the shops and people and I am very excited to help support going forward.

Andrea only became a Trustee very recently but has always been passionate about animals and animal welfare. She has a background in business, has been a civil servant for several years & is currently owned by a former elderly feline resident of the RSPCA.

I’m a Norfolk-bred qualified accountant with a deep passion for animals – I’m the proud owner of three cats. As a Trustee, I’m excited to apply my skills to help the charity grow and connect with the wider community. I’m particularly focused on supporting the team with creative fundraising strategies and enhancing the charity’s operations to maximise our impact and ensure we use our resources effectively, enabling us to do more for animals and inspiring good practices in animal welfare.

I’ve grown up surrounded by animals (our family record was 13). Many of them have been rescues: from Scruff, our gentle retired greyhound who inspired my love for sighthounds, to Chip, the boisterous foster dog who kept us on our toes, and now Charlie and Ozzie, the long snouts currently in charge of our household. Becoming a trustee is my way of giving something back to the animals that have given me so much joy, and I’m excited to support the Branch in helping more of them find safety and love.

I’m an experienced fundraising professional with a strong passion for animals, nature and the environment. I recently moved to Norfolk with my two children and my cat, Tumble. I bring over two decades of experience in the charity sector, having held fundraising roles at organisations including Friends of the Earth, RNIB and Age UK. I currently work as Fundraising Manager at FitzRoy, where I oversee a range of fundraising channels including Individual Giving, Legacies, Events and Community Engagement. I’m excited to be able to share my skills and experience to help support the Branch’s fundraising activities.

Life with my two Labradors, Charlie and Dotty, fuels a lifelong love of animals. Most days you’ll find us out and about - scent work, cani-cross and man-trailing are our passions - or I’ll be buried in a book about dog behaviour, trying to understand what really goes on in those clever heads of theirs. In my day job I work in business development, and I’m keen to connect that experience with my passion for animal welfare - particularly by helping the Branch increase revenue to support the incredible work it does. I’m looking forward to bringing both my professional experience and hands‑on support as the Branch grows its impact.
