Who we are

I have been involved with HRCT since February 2023 when I became a volunteer car driver. I joined the Board of Trustees shortly after. I am originally from the West Midlands but moved down to Devon 12 years ago. I love the area but with rubbish public transport you have to rely on a car. This was the reason I became a trustee and a volunteer driver. I enjoy country life, am a school governor, parish councillor and churchwarden. Life is non stop!

I have been involved with HRCT since February 2023 as a relief driver for the R&R minibuses, school buses and a volunteer car driver. I am a retired D&T teacher and faculty head, a local churchwarden, parish councillor and chair of primary school governors. I am married and have two children and four grandchildren. I enjoy spending time constructing items in my wood and metal workshops as well as gardening and general DIY.

I have been involved with HRCT since 2010. As Transport Manager, I am the one who you will speak to when you phone up. I am a Cornish Girl, originally from Falmouth, I moved to Holsworthy in 1997. I am married and have two grown up children and love anything which involves spending time with my family. Both my children play sports at a high level, and I enjoy travelling around the South West watching their football and netball endeavours. We have two little Cavaposo who are the heart and soul of our family unit – they are very pampered pooches!

I have been involved with HRCT since 2013, firstly as a Volunteer Car Driver, thinking it would help me meet people and improve my geography of the area and then becoming a Trustee in 2016 because I became more interested in the running of the Charity. Having gained a B.Ed. degree through Lancaster University, I became a Primary School teacher in rural Devon. I had a burning desire to gain an HGV licence which I subsequently did. I then put it to good use for decades running a specialised haulage company based first in Hampshire & then in Dorset. We travelled all over the UK, Europe & beyond. My partner, Martin and I moved to Holsworthy in May 2013. I have been a Parish Councillor for Holsworthy Hamlets and I still organise monthly walks as a result of my position as a P3 representative on the PC. I am now a full time Driving Instructor and enjoy spending time looking after my ponies.

I became a Trustee in 2009. I live local to Holsworthy. I am Group Leader, Leader of the Council and Lead Member for Customer Services and Internal Resources for Torridge District Council.

I joined Holsworthy Rural Community Transport in 2017 as the Community Development Worker. Since we are a small charity operating in the community transport sector, this means we are always in need of extra funding to keep our services running, so an important part of my role is in fundraising activities, particularly identifying & applying for grants to boost our income.  I also spend time promoting our services & raising our profile in the community, such as with publicity in the media as well as speaking to local groups & at events, so if you are involved in a group which would be interested in hearing about what we have to offer, then please get in touch & I can come out to meet you.

I live in Holsworthy with my husband and our four dogs. I have been with HRCT for over 15 years, and am also a Scout leader and involved with Holsworthy Amateur Theatre. In my spare time I compete in dog agility all over the country.

I have been involved with HRCT since 2020 joining firstly as a school bus driver and then moving onto the R&R. I am a local lad having been born in Launceston but raised in Holsworthy. I am passionate about Liverpool Football Club and travel to watch them play whenever I can. I enjoy playing golf but could do with better weather to improve my handicap!

I joined HRCT in 2019. I live in Bude and I enjoy singing and playing music. I have been with the Bencoolen Wreckers shanty group for more than twenty years.

I have been involved with HRCT since February 2025 when I was asked to become a Trustee. I am originally from Hertfordshire moving to Devon with my husband and daughter in 2002. I have worked for over 40 years in scientific research and more recently, pharmaceutical development with time also spent working for the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and a Mystery Shopping company. During our time in Devon, I have been a school governor and Chair of Governors for a local primary school. I have recently retired and welcome the opportunity to support HRCT, in addition to continuing to enjoy Devon and all it has to offer.

I was brought up, and have spent most of my working life in Holsworthy as a director of local construction and builders’ merchant companies. I’m now semi-retired, and split my time between work and unpaid work (childminding). I’m also a bit of a sports nut.

I joined HRCT in July 2025. I was born in Launceston, where I attended primary school and Launceston College. On leaving school, I went to work on a farm for several years. Then I had a big change in my career and went to work in a factory where I remained for 25 years.

I am married to my wonderful wife Katherine and we now live in Holsworthy with our mad golden retriever. We have 2 grown up sons and 3 beautiful grand daughters.

We are both avid supporters of Launceston Ruby Club and can be found most weekends, shouting from the touchline.
