C Cutler
Parent Governor

I am a New Zealander by birth and moved to the UK when I was 34 years old.  Currently, my wife and I reside in Lincoln, with our 13 year old twins, who attend Carre's Grammar & KSHS respectively .  In the last 10 years I have requalified and established my own Financial Planning company.  Prior to this I worked as a professionally trained chef working onboard Superyachts. This role lasted for 14 years and involved extensive global travelling and being employed by some very demanding individuals.  When fortunate to get any spare time, I like to spend it with my family, watch the twins indulge in their pastimes and not surprisingly, I still enjoy cooking for family & friends.  I care about the importance of education in society and how it is delivered. For this reason, I have been drawn to this role and I look forward to working alongside the fellow Governors at KSHS.
