Full statement

Ged is a former Deputy Leader of Waverley Borough Council and former President of Haslemere Community Rugby Club.

From a modest background of being a builder’s son, Ged is accustomed to hard work and delivery. Ged's political views are centre-right believing in low taxation, supporting business and entrepreneurship, whilst ensuring public services are fit for purpose and deliver value for money.

Ged has been self-employed for over ten years, working as a consultant for banks and finance houses in London and the Home Counties. Ged helped set up the Haslemere Youth Hub to improve services for children and young people in his home town and now sits as a trustee on the charity board.

Ged’s decision to stand for Reform is based on a belief that a new, voter-focused approach is needed and that that the main political parties have deserted their founding principles. Ged’s key priorities are Jobs, Education and Healthcare.
