As Deputy Town Clerk, his responsibilities include overseeing the co-ordination of political and policy advice to the City Corporation’s elected Members and senior staff leaders and supporting the organisation’s decision-making processes.
Greg will help lead the organisation’s Governance and Member Services section, which supports more than 500 political decision-making meetings each year.
He also manages the programme and private offices of the Lord Mayor and the City Corporation’s de-facto political leader, the Chairman of the Policy & Resources Committee.

In the position Greg will supervise the City Corporation’s responsibilities as a police authority to maintain a safe and secure City; Corporate Health & Safety; and services for the wider Town Clerk and Chief Executive’s department.
The Deputy Town Clerk, alongside the City Corporation’s full leadership Team, is key to delivering the commitments in the organisation’s five-year Corporate Plan, which was launched in March.
The Plan is designed to ensure the City Corporation focuses on its ambition to be a world-class organisation that fully embraces the needs and diversity of the communities it serves.
