Bill Montague

Bill joined us at the beginning of 2009 as treasurer, his predecessor retired aged 90 after 43 years in the job, so Bill knows that he’s got a long time to go. An avid sailor, Bill’s Beneteau cruiser is moored at Gosport. Originally from Arundel, Bill’s professional life as an independent financial advisor prepares him well for counting our beans.

Married with a grown up son.

Favourite food: Traditional English.
