My family moved to Rutland in 1997 settling in Oakham before moving to Langham in 2018 after our 2 children had flown the nest.
I am a company director, working in Corby, and my background is in engineering and manufacturing management in large companies before establishing a small specialist metal finishing company.
I am passionate about Langham and hope to play my part in making it a great place to live and play and a community to be proud of.

Committees: Planning (Chairman)
I have lived in Langham since 2009, and before that in Leicestershire since 1991. After being involved in education, finance and latterly manufacturing industry during my working life, I have now retired and so have more time available to try to support the community in Langham as a Parish Councillor.
I was involved in the formation of the Langham Neighbourhood Plan, and as a member of the Steering Group continue to support its ongoing development and relevance. As a Parish Councillor I hope to be able to keep informed of the key issues that affect the community, listen to their views, and so contribute towards ensuring that Langham continues to be a village in which the whole community is happy to live and call home.

She was a Wing Commander in the RAF Air Traffic Branch and left after 22 years going on to a number of senior executive positions in the public and charitable sector before finishing her working life as Chair of Cambridgeshire Probation Service.
Asked about the best bits of her working life she would say: managing air traffic for the Harrier Force at Wittering, Chairing a NATO Working Party, running the Ministry of Defence department for all airfield air traffic policy and equipment, winning a £¼ million National Lottery grant for the charity she worked for, reorganising the administration of a top university architectural faculty and presenting awards to young offenders who have turned their lives around.
Brenda has been on Langham Parish Council for 4 years, Chair since 2017 and is a member of the Langham Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group. She believes the Parish Council should deliver its services efficiently, be pro-active, respond to parishioners’ aspirations, support local facilities and activities and aim to improve quality of life for the whole community. She is particularly interested in preserving and enhancing the local environment, improving road safety and encouraging community involvement.

My family has lived in Langham since the 1960, and I’ve lived here for the last 25 years. My work background is in teaching and then industry. I’m now semi-retired, but still consult on medicine and food regulation, particularly for the Health Food Manufacturers’ Association, of which, latterly, I was Director and CEO and am now President. I love living in Langham, and have been involved with various Langham village committees/initiatives over the years, including WI secretary, Village Hall Trustee, Street Market organiser and Neighbourhood Plan member. As I have a bit more time now, I hope I can be useful to the Parish Council and the village.
