Sue Hyde
"I have lived in Mountnessing for the past 20 years and have raised my family here. I am currently a Parish Councillor for Mountnessing, a role I chose because I am passionate about supporting my community and history of the Village. I am a recently retired Director of IT Portfolio/ Programme Management after many years in the industry in Banking, Insurance and Consultancy. Managing change was a fundamental part of my career hence joining the Mountnessing team as a Parish Councillor as part of my “give back” plan for retirement."
