Introduction

 Robin has lived in Kennett since 2004 and since retiring from the Army has been a Director and Consultant in his own company. 

A word from the Chair:   Robin says: “Having fought against large developments such as Watermark since moving to the area, I passionately believe that Kennett Garden Village is the best option for the village in the current environment.” 

 Frank has lived in Kennett since 1991.  Since retiring from the Royal Navy, where he worked as a Submarine Engineer, he has worked as an Offshore Oil and Gas Consultant. 

 Paul lived in Kennett for 15 years. He runs a landscaping business based here which employs six local people. He is married with two children who both attend the local school, and his parents live in Kennett. 

 Lynne lived in Kennett. She has worked in the construction industry and allied trades for many years. Her area of special interest is self‑building, energy efficiency of new homes, and rainwater harvesting. 

 Alison lives locally. She is semi‑retired, using her 30 years’ professional HR experience to support local small & medium businesses and voluntary projects like KCLT to benefit the local community. 

  Mike has lived in Kennett since early 2025, although he has lived in Cambridgeshire for over 40 years. Mike has held a variety of Sales & Marketing roles within a number of major Food and non-Food companies, followed by working for the University of Cambridge for 14 years. After retiring Mike lived overseas for 10 years, before his immediate family were successful in persuading him and his wife to return back to the UK.

 John has more than 20 years’ experience in senior leadership, operations and organisational transformation across the public, private and charitable sectors. His career has included senior roles within national charities and public services, with responsibility for large teams, budgets, governance and the delivery of complex services.

John currently works as an Operational Excellence Partner for a consultancy, supporting major public-sector programmes alongside the continued development and improvement of the business itself. His experience includes organisational change, operational improvement, governance, risk and compliance, digital transformation and working with a wide range of partners and stakeholders.

John lives in Kennett with his partner and their family, and has a strong personal interest in the continued development of the village. He joined KCLT as a Trustee because he believes that those who care about how their community develops should also be prepared to get involved. He is particularly interested in the role that good-quality, affordable housing and strong community infrastructure can play in ensuring Kennett remains a thriving and enjoyable place to live as it grows.
