• Supporting the regional voice
  • Driving progress in the party
  • Promoting a united party

Welcome to my website

I was elected to the Board of the Party, as a Vice President of the National Convention, at the Cardiff Spring Conference, in 2011. My role is to represent the Voluntary Party, on the main Party Board and ensure our voice is heard. My Board responsibilities include:

  • Co-Chairmanship of the Membership Committee with the principle aim to drive membership forward
  • To look at how our database of activists can be improved to ensure that it is more up to date and accurate
  • Being the Board representative for the North of England and for the Conservative Women’s Organisation (CWO)

You may read about the work I have done over the past twelve months in activities, my experience in politics is set out in the about section. My aspirations for the Voluntary Party are described in vision, I would welcome your feedback.

I will be standing for re-election to the Board in March 2012 and hope I may count on your continued support – through your votes but also through your messages and thoughts which may be expressed here.

What people are saying

Rob is articulate, diplomatic, reliable and hard working……his record of work for the Voluntary Party is exceptional and the results speak for themselves. Rob lives and works in Yorkshire; his election will help to ensure that the Party does not become too centralised.”

Lord Bates, Deputy Chair, Conservative Party & Campaign North 2007-10

“Rob is Trustworthy, Far-thinking, and very experienced. Also, although Rob rightly believes that the strength of the Conservative Party comes first and foremost  from its’ “grass roots” he has much to offer in terms of National Strategy.  The fact that he now chairs the Membership Committee and is a member of both the Candidates’ and the Finance and Audit Committees of the Board demonstrates that he brings much to the position of  Vice President. Please offer him your support”

Timothy Kirkhope, MEP

“Rob has been a great supporter of the CWO as our Board Representative and is always willing to talk and, more importantly, listen to CWO groups no matter where they are in the country. With his experience and success at Regional and now National level, I have no hesitation in giving him my full support for his re-election.”

 

Niki Molnar, Chairman of Conservative Women’s Organisation

Rob’s professional expertise in his own business, and his hands-on experience of managing local associations, bring a real strength to CCHQ’s Finance & Audit Committee. Rob is a calm and effective advocate for focusing CCHQ resources on effective local campaigning.

Charles Barwell, Chairman of The Party’s Finance & Audit Committee

“Rob is an outstanding campaigner. His combination of charm, diplomacy and determination is the mark of someone who gets things done.”
