I live in South Lanarkshire and have done so most of my life and have largely been shaped by it.

Full statement

I am standing to give back to the community and to Scotland as a whole.
I joined the RAF as a teenager and after an apprenticeship was an Aircraft Technician.
In civil life I was an Electrical Engineer working on many large and small projects in a wide range of industries including Oil, Gas, Manufacturing, Hospitals, Data Centres and Electrical Power Industry culminating in a management role.
I am my own man and believe firmly in the Local Connection, Locals First, Rejuvenation of our Manufacturing Capabilities, Incentivising our young people, Exploiting the Oil & Gas Resource for our use, lowering taxes and cost of living, An Effective Care System and fixing the NHS. I strongly believe in a Majority Opinion and not the Minority.
If elected, I will work tirelessly for the Community. The sense of duty that comes with that runs deep and is sincere.
