Full statement

Through his career, Mark has amassed knowledge and skills about the needs in building and growing businesses, as well as the pitfalls to avoid.

Mark is a firm believer of enabling people to be the best they can be, in both business and in life. Enabling people to reach their maximum potential is the key to building a vibrant, prosperous, and caring society for all.

This is a simple truth that is often lost, discounted or even rejected in discussions and debates about to how to build, grow and sustain the prosperity of a nation.

To grow a nation's economy the government's first priority must always be to make its people as prosperous as possible. From prosperity comes investment, not just domestic but also overseas investment. Governments that deny people the opportunity to excel through heavy taxation, programs with vague, ill-defined objectives, or unrealistic “social engineering” schemes do the complete opposite. And always remember, behind every Scheme there is a schemer.

Since the banking crisis of 2008 the rate of growth of the UK has slowed down to almost nothing. The economy has technically grown but only due to an increasing population. This increasing population has skewed the growth trajectory of the country downwards with the average person in this country being poorer than they were in 2008.

Voting for a party that increases taxation in a low-growth country with increasing population is not the answer. The opposite is required. A government that puts money into people’s pockets and not one that takes it away. Reform UK is that party. None of the other are. Vote Reform on 4 July.
