Robert Ward

Selsdon & Addington Village
Opposition Scrutiny Lead
Shadow Cabinet Deputy for Finance and Resources

Now semi-retired I moved with my family from Fulham to South Croydon in 2006 whilst still working full time in Central London. Originally from an engineering background I latterly specialised in projects to improve the safety, efficiency and quality of business services. I am an experienced decision analyst and a certified Project Manager. My main focus as Councillor will be to preserve and enhance the communities of Selsdon and Addington Village and to improve the quality and efficiency of services provided to Croydon's people by Croydon Council. I sit on the Governing Board of The Quest Academy and the Federation of Heavers Farm Primary School and Selsdon Primary School. Follow me on Twitter as @moguloilman or contact me at robert.ward@croydon.gov.uk or 07783-152363.
