After beginning his career with a GPO apprenticeship in 1974, [Name] built decades of experience across communications, engineering, technical support, project management and leadership, managing teams and delivering complex nationwide network projects.

Following a varied career and three redundancies, he decided to swap the corporate world for a more hands-on life, working as a handyman, painter and decorator, and gardener. Outside the club, he enjoys boating, caravanning, spending time in the garden and with his dog and cat. Passionate about the future of Sawtry Social Club, he is committed to helping ensure it continues to thrive as an important community asset for years to come.

She later worked with adults with learning disabilities, progressing into Team Leader and Assistant Manager roles before retiring through ill health in 2011.
