My wife and I moved to Leybourne Chase nearly seven years ago, and I've since retired from full-time work. I now volunteer at Spadework a couple of days a week, helping out whenever needed. Before retiring, I was a Senior Contract Manager in the mechanical services industry, handling projects with budgets up to £10 million. These projects included airport terminals, schools, hospitals, high-end residential properties, a football stadium, data centres, office developments, and a railway station. My experience equips me to help maintain Leybourne Chase to a high standard, especially considering the financial and economic challenges of 2024.
