We have a leadership team who run operations on a day-to-day basis, overseen by a board of Trustees. We aim for best practice in all we do.
James Fulford
Director of Operational and Commercial Services
I joined Lee Abbey as director in January 2022. Before I worked in different customer service roles around the world – ferries in France, the aquarium in Sydney, resorts in Cumbria, a language school in Spain. I love working here and enjoy the energy and enthusiasm of the students and seeing the fun they are having, and I love that God’s love is so apparent in this place – even when you do not actually notice it! I love worshipping God, cycling and sailing and playing with my dog Zippy.
Sue Cady
Chaplain, Deputy Director, Head of Student and Pastoral Services
I love working at Lee Abbey. I became a Priest in the Church of England in 2017 after working as a physiotherapist and also teaching English as a second language (in my free time). I enjoy meeting people, going out for coffee (or tea) with friends and reading fiction. I have just joined a gospel choir which is fun!
Chris Barry
HR Manager
I first joined the Lee Abbey London community as a volunteer from South Africa over 20 years ago. I love meeting people from around the world and seeing them grow in their faith through being part of this community. In my spare time I can often be found hiking in the Chilterns and enjoying the great outdoors.
Adam James
Facilities Manager
I am originally from England, but have spent the last ten years working on large facilities in Australia, so I’m now also an Aussie! I thrive in the facilities space and am committed to seeing the highest levels of health and safety at Lee Abbey London. I love to worship Jesus and have played bass guitar in worship teams all over the world.
Saffie Pearson
Deputy Facilities Manager
I am a lover of Doctor Who, The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. I enjoy hiking, visiting museums and exploring historical sites. I came to faith when I was 17 and since then, I have walked a journey alongside Christ, which has eventually led me here. I love working as a part of Community, being a part of something greater than myself.
Rebecca Higgins
Housekeeping Manager
Vita Tritska
Deputy Housekeeping Manager
I’m from Ukraine. I’ve been living in England for about three years. In Ukraine, I worked as a teacher at an art studio – I’m an artist. I love drawing portraits and landscapes. I volunteered at Lee Abbey; it was one of the best years of my life, and I am now the assistant housekeeping manager.
