Horsham Labour Party, following his move to the town in 2007, and has been a

He has been both constituency chair and secretary since 2008 and throughout this
period he has strived to ensure that new and longstanding members receive a warm
welcome when attending meetings and campaign events.

here in Horsham and across the country, will we deliver the change our society so
desperately requires.

UK’s leading ornamental plant producer, providing advice on plant nutrition and crop
protection. His work has enabled him to develop a keen understanding of environmental issues
including the delivery of sustainable agriculture. He describes himself as a green
socialist.

As Chair he will seek to secure the best outcome for Labour in the forthcoming
General Election. He will continue to encourage more members to actively campaign
and supporters to join our party so that together we secure a Labour Government
that both Horsham and the Country is crying out for.
