Graham Colk

I have worked for BT in Kiln House, Norwich since 1982. I started as a CA in Marketing, became a CO in Residential Sales in 1983, and a Commo in Business Sales in 1986. I have represented members of the CWU and its predecessors since 1985.

I have held virtually every Branch Officer post over the years and held Regional Secretary posts in their various forms. I am currently a C2, Chair of the North Anglia Branch and have been an elected member of the CWU National Executive for five years. I have seen and heard most things over 22 years of activism, but I still feel passionate about what is right and what is wrong, and achieving fairness and justice for all members of the union and in the world as a whole.
