Stephen Brunner, Co-opted

My wife and I have lived in Bury St Edmunds for the past nine years having moved from Chelmsford on retirement. Our three boys are all married and we have six grandchildren.

I am a volunteer at the Cathedral where my wife looks after the choristers, some of whom attend  Guildhall Feoffment, and I  served as a Foundation Governor at St James Middle School for eight years until closure last July.

My background is agricultural / engineering and most of my career was with a global manufacturer of agricultural and industrial machines. This involved extensive overseas travel and several years living in Greece and USA with family.

I am very much looking forward to supporting governors and staff as the school continues to evolve and develop its role as a full Primary School.
