I have worked as a solicitor in Liverpool for 25 years. I was asked to join the board of Homebaked as it was felt there was a need for legal expertise, and I hoped that my experience would help the CLT achieve its objectives – to preserve the building where the bakery is based and deliver a redevelopment of the terrace.
I have been on the board since 2013, and was chair of the board from 2017 to 2023. In that time I have seen the completion of the flat above the Bakery and the CLT making significant progress in #gettingtheterracedone.
Homebaked matters to me because I enjoy working with the other board members: although we face difficult challenges, the combined strength and enthusiasm of the other people involved make me feel confident that we can and will achieve our goals.
For the future I want to see that Homebaked has successfully delivered the redevelopment of the terrace, the residential parts full of local people finding a good new home for themselves and the bakery and Homegrown flourishing either end of the terrace. I want to see a Homebaked CLT confident of its future and looking for opportunities to reproduce the success of the terrace.
