Methodist Church Director of Digital Engagement, Type 1 diabetic (since 2007), podding (since 2022) and lover of Brighton & Hove Albion.
I’m excited to share that from 2026, I’ll be stepping into a new role as Director of Digital and Transformation @methodist.org.uk.
At its heart this is about people and connection. Technology enables change, but it’s empathy and collaboration that sustain it.

“Jung explained that a paradox is one of our most valued spiritual possessions. He explained, "Only the paradox comes anywhere near to comprehending the fullness of life."”

Nations can get stuck, trying to go back in time, to an imagined era when things were great.
People can get overwhelmed by nostalgia, wishing things would go back to how they were...
