Richard Boyden
MembershipI am Richard Boyden, a resident of Hurst since 2016 and the local area since 2007. I joined the Metropolitan Police in 2003 and am also a local business owner. I created my exterior cleaning business Richard of Hurst in 2017 and through my business I have built successful relationships with residents and businesses. I sponsor many local events like the Hurst Show and am a sponsor of Hurst Cricket Club. I have three daughters who attend St Nicholas School and the local secondary school Piggott. I am passionate about the village and keeping it safe and maintaining the rural charm that enticed me to move here.
