He was well known as Lymm's 'telephone engineer' for many years and took early retirement from B.T. several years ago. Joe is married to Tina, who works as a Doctor's receptionist at one of the local surgeries. They have three grown up children who all attended Ravenbank School and Lymm High School before completing their education at University.

He is also a member of the May Queen working committee, helping with the preparations on the field. Joe has done voluntary work for the Royal National Institute for the Blind for over 20 years, repairing Talking Book machines and adapting and maintaining computers for the visually impaired.

Having lived in the Village for over 60 years, I've seen many changes (not all for the better) and feel we must all strive to keep Lymm as it should be...a friendly, thriving, bustling Community
