Councillor Mick Scrimshaw

I am the County Councillor for the Northall Division in Kettering (made up of the three borough council wards of Northfeild, St. Peter’s, and William Knibb). I am currently the shadow cabinet member for finance.

I am fifty years old and live locally in the Division with my wife Shona and two daughters. I have spent over 25 years working in the retail sector and currently run an internet business with my wife, but have always been extremely active within the community. I have previously served as a school governor and worked with various community groups including being the chairman of Kettering’s Shopmobility scheme for many years.

I have also been the deputy president of Kettering’s Chamber of Trade and am currently a trustee of KCU, a local charity that provides education and support for the unemployed. I have previous experience of local government having been a local Borough Councillor for the William Knibb ward and have been a member of Kettering’s Town Forum (which is a group of Borough and County Councillors, local organisations and community groups) since its foundation in 1999.
