About Kay:
Kay, a leading candidate for recent European elections in the South West region, has taken a year out to study for a Masters degree in International Development in the Politics Department of Bristol University.
Kay’s wide experience includes both business and public involvement:
- 17 years as a governor and advisor to Bristol University
- 5 years as a non-executive director in the NHS
- 30 years as a business manager in agriculture and food business in the South West
- Director of a publishing company
- An experienced research scientist for 20 years
And last but not least 25 years hard campaigning as candidate and councillor with the Lib Dems, watching with pleasure the party grow stronger.
