Stuart James Marchant, was born in Croydon in January 1981.

Full statement

He spent his formative years in Orpington, Kent, attending Darrick Wood Secondary School and Orpington College. His father, originally from London, worked as a police officer, while his mother, hailing from Carmarthen, pursued a career in teaching.

Stuart's early work experience included a stint at Tesco as a checkout operator during his college years. After completing his studies, he transitioned to a retail position at PC World. However, in September 2001, he embarked on a new path by joining the private parking sector. His dedication and competence led to rapid promotions within the industry.

In 2005, Stuart was offered an opportunity to work in Wales, a chance he eagerly seized. The move allowed him to reconnect with the area where his mother had grown up. For several years, he was based in Swansea, but in 2008, he returned to the South East to manage a substantial portfolio of car parks.

Stuart's career trajectory remained dynamic, and by 2020, he had held diverse positions that enabled him to pursue various goals and collaborate effectively within teams.

Currently, he operates a small business near Carmarthen, allowing him to immerse himself in the local community.

Beyond his professional endeavour, Stuart is an avid traveller, exploring destinations worldwide and cultivating cultural competence. Stuart is also an occasional hockey player and has recently started to learn to Para-glide.

His political journey began in 2009 when he joined the Conservative Party. However, earlier this year, he aligned himself with the Reform Party. As a supporter of the Brexit opportunity, Stuart believes that South West Wales should reap numerous positive impacts from this historic decision and feels that only Reform UK can offer this.
