About Gordon

Gordon Henderson was born in the Medway Towns and is proud to be a true “Man of Kent”.

He grew up on a council estate and attended local state schools until he was 16 when he left school to work for Woolworths as a stockroom assistant in Chatham. He stayed with “Woolies” for 15 years and was a senior store manager by the time he decided to move on in 1979.

Since leaving Woolworths, Gordon has done a variety of jobs, including running his own restaurant in South Africa, being a senior contracts officer for GEC Marconi (in Rochester), a director of the Unwins Wine Group and most recently Operations Manager for the largest independent alcohol based gift wholesalers in the UK. He is currently a self employed

management consultant.

Gordon is married to Louise, with three children and seven grandchildren – all girls! He has lived on the Isle of Sheppey for almost 30 years and considers himself an adopted “Swampie”.

For relaxation Gordon likes to write (he has written five - so far unpublished - novels and many short stories). He loves music (his taste is varied which includes: Bach, Beethoven, Beach Boys and the Beatles!) and cooking (his “Steak Winston Churchill” is a dish to die for!).

Gordon is also a long standing supporter of Gillingham FC and Partick Thistle FC.
