John Overton (Chair Of Trustees)

Educated in Singapore, Cyprus and the U.K. I am a conscientious individual who has a great work ethic and experience in many field of expertise. In my younger days I spent fifteen years in the Scout movement achieving my “Queen Scout” award.

I worked in the Oil Industry for 18 years selling specialised equipment on a world wide basis, covering the U.K, Europe and the Middle East.

Moved to Poringland (Norwich), in 1983 and ran a local business with my wife which we sold in 1994, returning to project management  until my retirement in 2014.

Well known locally for organising many major fund raising events which attracted many thousands of people, and for organising music and entertaining events in the our local Community Centre.

I have a daughter who lives in Poringland and two grandsons.
