Meet our New Parish Clerk

Graham Wells, our new New Parish Clerk, took over the reigns from Keith Metcalf a couple of weeks ago, so we thought it might be interesting to know a bit more about him.

Graham was born and lived in Surrey until he moved to the Isle of Wight around 20 years ago, and he then moved to Lymington about 4 years ago. His two grown up sons still live on the Isle of Wight. Having remarried in January 2014, Graham now lives with his wife and step-daughter in Lymington.

His career background is quite varied, having spent much of his career in the financial services sector as both a finance advisor and building society manager, as well as advising on the provision of long term care.

In recent years he has studied and qualified for a degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. This took six years to complete, on a part time basis, and he now run a small practice from his home.

His wife works for a challenge event company, and over the last two years Graham has helped on many of the events they run in the UK, by encouraging the participants to achieve what are quite difficult challenges.

Graham's interests include golf, walking/trekking, gardening, squash and badminton. As a keen golfer he has enjoyed being the manager of Walhampton Golf Club for just over a year.

Travelling has always been a keen interest, and up until two years ago you may have seen him riding his motorcycle, on which he has toured most of Europe. A few years ago he travelled on his own down to southern Turkey and then back over a three month period. Unfortunately he dropped his bike on a Belgium Motorway and is currently in the market for a new one.

Graham said; "I am very excited with my appointment as Parish Clerk, and am looking forward to getting to grips with its varied tasks. I look forward to helping those in Milford-on-Sea for many years to come."

We of course all wish him well in his new role in looking after the village.

If you wish to contact Graham of any reason, here are his contact details:
