Statement to voters
Long-time Bournemouth resident Martin is the Reform UK Prospective Parliamentary Candidate (PPC) for Bournemouth East constituency.
Full statement
He believes that a candidate should have a close connection to the constituency in which they are standing to represent, and be able to demonstrate a solid track record in public service – especially as a volunteer.
He first moved here in 1992 and has been the Managing Director of UK technology company for over two decades whilst helping to raise his children and juggling the demands of business and family life.
He has two children who attended Primary and Secondary schools in Bournemouth.
He was previously on the Board of Trustees of his local hospital and during that tenure, helped raise funds and ensure grants went to well deserving causes, such as hospital departments, charities and GP surgeries across the region. He also acquired funding for equipment needed for special needs children and was instrumental in an initiative to install lifesaving equipment in 10 locations. All of this as an unpaid volunteer.
His interest in technology also led to him developing the UK’s leading website for disabled walkers and parents with young children, as well as creating an online scoring system to report on the actual charitable spending of the largest 300 UK charities and ranking them accordingly.
Martin was a key Referendum player in 2016 and is fiercely Pro-Brexit. He feels just as let down by the failures of the Conservative Government as everyone else does, and wants us to finally have leadership that will properly leverage the opportunity we’ve been given. Apart from technology his other keen interest is Economics and he’ll happily bore anyone who’ll listen to him on the differences between debt and deficit, CPI versus RPI, inflation or any other Economic data.
