Professional background

I am a UK-based contributor with professional experience in the heritage and hospitality sector, with a focus on historic properties and visitor attractions.

My background includes work within the cultural heritage sector, including roles at the Imperial War Museum, the National Gallery, and English Heritage.

I have also worked within the hospitality and tourism industry, including at Port Lympne, where I was involved in the development of its accommodation and visitor experience offer.

I currently work at Solton Manor, a historic estate in Kent.

Research and editorial interests

My areas of interest include twentieth-century heritage, historic houses, and the work of Philip Sassoon, both during his time at the National Gallery and as First Commissioner of Works. I am interested in improving the encyclopaedic coverage of Sassoon and the historical context of Port Lympne Mansion, where my office was formerly based.

Since January 2025, I have been working at Solton Manor, previously known as Soulton Manor, a historic house whose documented history I am researching to improve encyclopaedic coverage and for my own personal interest.

I aim to follow Wikipedia’s conflict-of-interest and notability guidelines and to avoid directly editing articles in which I have a close professional involvement.
