Speakers
Neil Wedge
County Officer & Chief Executive
Neil has lived in Dorset since 2019 having moved from the East Midlands where he has lived for the majority of his life. His main career was in property and banking for 25 years working all over the UK and latterly in London. After leaving the banking sector, a family friend suggested he consider applying for the clerk role in the market town where he and his family lived. He undertook that role for 5 years and gained the CiLCA qualification. The role was equally rewarding and frustrating but gave him an insight into town life he'd not seen.
In moving to Dorset an opportunity to join DAPTC came up, which enabled Neil to combine the experience gained in his main career with the very hands on role he undertook as a clerk.
Neil supports a number of courses provided by DAPTC to help clerks and councillors undertake their roles, as well as compliment some of the specialist trainers we use.
With a keen sense of humour - sessions he runs will be informative, interactive and fun.
