Ali Hale

I was born and raised in the parish and attended both Georgeham Primary School and Braunton Comprehensive School. In 1986, I began my electrical apprenticeship with PF Friend & Son and have worked within the electrical industry for the past 40 years.

I am currently employed by Babcock Marine in Plymouth as an Electrical Project Engineer, where I continue to apply the knowledge and experience gained throughout my career.

I am married with children and, alongside my family, help to run our local bed and breakfast, Thistledoo!, which has given me a strong appreciation of both local tourism and the needs of residents and visitors alike.

I am committed to representing the interests of our community. Having lived locally all my life, I have a good understanding of the area’s history, challenges, and opportunities, and I am passionate about ensuring that local voices are heard and reflected in the decisions that affect our parish.
