James Wellman

James, his wife Emilie, and their young daughter Ivy moved to Farrington Gurney a few years ago to escape London life. James grew up in a small village, so he greatly understands how small communities work together. James comes from an Event Management Software background but now helps run The Old Parsonage within the village.

James has been on the Parish Council for four years and has taken on the challenge of replacing Mike Hedges as the current chair. James also reports on council Highways matters and Community Speed Watch.
