Paul Pratt

I live in the neighbouring North Kirklees and Morley circuit and have done so for the last 25 years along with my wife and two adult children. I have been a lifelong Methodist, the son of a Methodist minister, so moved around a lot while I was younger. I am very active in my local Church in a number of roles (including property) so have a good understanding of what is required, although there is always something new to learn.

I studied computer science at Leeds university and stayed there for my PhD, then moved into the world of software engineering. I stayed here for nearly 30 years, leading teams, managing projects and delivering products until I was made redundant. I am happy to have started as Property Officer in the circuit and looking forward to a new challenge and supporting everyone as best I can.

I enjoy 80s music (but not exclusively), reading (but I don't do enough of it), films (both Marvel and DC), as a family, we are also big Disney fans (so apologies in advance).
