Tony Harris.

Tony lives in Newbury and is currently the Treasurer of the local Liberal Democrats. He previously owned a software company and has held a number of charity and non exec positions.

He has been a member of the Party’s policy working groups on social security and tax.

He is about to complete a PhD in Mediaeval Studies and is a rowing umpire and helicopter and aeroplane pilot.

He now takes on the challenge of keeping the party’s finances in order, a job which has been done admirably by Peter Dunphy for the past five years.

Peter has to deal with the sudden cliff-edge after the 2015 election and was a very wise and astute pair of hands.

Peter backed Tony in the election for FFRC Chair. Federal Board members voted after seeing three candidates at a hustings on 21st May.

Peter will now spend the next few weeks handing over to Tony, who will be in full charge by the beginning of July.
