President from 1 July 2008 is Roger Sawyers of Haywards Heath.

President Roger Sawyers

Born at the end of the war, and brought up and educated in what is now the London Borough of Sutton, President Roger Sawyers was glad to see the end of the austere 1950s and embrace the swinging 60s. As he can remember what he did in this wild decade he clearly did not fully participate by chilling out, empowering flowers or getting into peace. He did though own a Vespa, obtain an external degree from London University, qualify as a Chartered Surveyor and marry Wendy.

Having started his career in local government, Roger went into private practice, eventually joining the London office of Gerald Eve. Here he developed a niche business valuing the assets of the major players in the aggregates industry and later the waste management industry. Following a voracious period of dog-eat-dog, for which he was well paid, he retired from the partnership in 2001. He has continued as a consultant and still gets the occasional phone call.

Although he travelled throughout the world on business, particularly in the USA, Roger could always rely on the firm base of home maintained by Wendy. They have two sons who are almost independent – although concern for their futures does not lessen. He will always acknowledge that his home is where his heart is, whatever excitement or kudos came from his business life.

Roger joined Rotary on retirement and now has two objectives as President – firstly to ensure all members of Cuckfield and Lindfield Rotary Club enjoy being Rotarians, and secondly to ensure that our community is aware of the very active and caring Rotary club operating in its midst.
