Gary is a retired chartered accountant and worked in the financial services sector for more than 30 years, most recently as European Financial Controller for Bernstein Autonomous LLP. For four years he also chaired the finance committee for a 400-pupil prep school. He hopes his financial experience can help with the financial oversight of Sarcoma UK.

In 2018, Gary lost his wife to leiomyosarcoma. The family have been supporters of Sarcoma UK for some time – his sons have run the London Marathon for Sarcoma UK.
