I moved to Wiltshire with my job in 2005, took a chance on Holt, and haven’t looked back since. I have never lived in village with such depth, and an inclusive attitude. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in the 1970s, and have spent over 40 years in various financial roles, before largely retiring in 2012. Against this background, I guess its no surprise that I have taken on the role as Chair of the Finance Committee.
Moved to Wiltshire from Sussex – love the countryside and rural life but miss the sea! have lived in Holt for 25 years and became a Councillor in May 2013. Working life in NHS as an Information Analyst , more recently reduced hours to one day a week in new job & enjoying the challenge. Having attended Parish Council meetings for many years reporting proceedings for Holt Magazine I am fully aware of the dedication and hard work required to be an effective Councillor. I am on the Village Facilities and Finance Committees and aim to ensure that where possible we encompass views of all Holt residents.
I moved to Holt in 1999 having spent the previous 33 years in the Army. I then worked for B.T for 8 years, but am now fully retired. I served on the Parish Council from May 2003 to May 2007 and from early 2010 to date.
I am chairman of the planning committee and serve on the Village Facilities Committee. I also look after the Community Orchard.
Bob Mizen
I have lived in Holt for forty years and have been a member of the Parish Council for thirty four years. I currently chair the Village Facilities Committee which is responsible for caretaking, maintenance and upkeep of Greens, the Recreation Field, Dawes Pond and other village facilities. Prior to retiring some seven years ago I owned and ran an International design company based in Bath.
I moved to Holt on Station Road in 2007 with my wife Sian and
cocker spaniel, having lived previously for 6 years in Bradford on Avon. We love the rural outlook, facilities and lifestyle that the village has to offer. I have been an Engineer Officer in the Royal Navy for 26 years and held appointments at sea and ashore, mostly in leadership and technical/project management roles. I have recently taken an assignment in Bristol which should see some relative stability over the next few years, and, as a big fan of localism, I am keen to offer my services to the village community through the Parish Council
Rachel Offiler
I moved to Holt with my husband and two children in 2015. We have loved the community feel of living in a village and enjoy many of Holt’s facilities and activities such as the tennis club, park and Boxing Day Boules! I felt it was time to ‘give something back’ and believed joining the Parish Council was a good way for me to contribute to village life in the future. I hope that my previous experience in retail finance and estate agency as well as my current role in Holt Primary will prove useful in my contribution to the ongoing hard work of the Parish Council. I have particcular interest in helping the Parish Council and village residents to communicate effectively and also ensuring that our village facilities are varied and accessible to all.
John Fletcher
I moved to West Wiltshire in 1988 and have lived in the village for the last 16 years. I was born in Glossop Derbyshire and spent my formative years in Bakewell Derbyshire. I am a proud Derbyshire lad. I have spent the last 40 years working in the landscaping industry for both local and national companies. I am very keen to ensure that we retain the rural environment around Holt and to ensure that we prevent as much as we are able the threat of housing expansion to the detriment of our way of life. I am also concerned about traffic issues and to ensure that we have a voice to challenge decisions made by other authorities which impact on our village.
