High Sheriffs are appointed by His Majesty the King to represent him in each county in matters relating to the judiciary and the maintenance of law and order.
I am hugely honoured to be the High Sheriff of Rutland for 2024-25, a role with traditions dating back hundreds of years.
We are very fortunate in Rutland to live in a beautiful county with the benefits of strong relationships between businesses, local authorities, the emergency services and the voluntary sector that promote the best opportunities for everyone in our county.
It is my intention to support, encourage and recognise the statutory organisations, charities, voluntary groups and individuals who work to support and improve the wellbeing of everyone in Rutland. I am very keen to promote and recognise this fantastic work at every opportunity – if you would like my support or recognise an individual who has gone that “extra mile” to improve the lives of others please get in touch
