A Scot from Fife, Sandy has lived in Sleaford for the last five years with his wife Daphne, a local who has lived here most of her life with her family.
He began his career as an electrical engineer in the mines before becoming an insurance agent. After redundancy, he worked as an Independent Financial Adviser, running his own company with several staff. Now semi-retired, Sandy still works part-time for a company he owns.
He has a strong interest in politics and local issues. He has previously stood as a local councillor in Scotland and was chairman of the DLO (direct labour organisation).
Sandy was elected to North Kesteven District Council in March 2026 to represent the constituents of Sleaford Westholme, and is standing again in May 2027.
