Graham has always served the people of his community, spending 4 years as a Special Constable in the Cheshire Constabulary in the 1980s.  Graham has become involved in local politics 15 years ago and is currently a Macclesfield Borough Councillor. He is currently Chairman of the Community Development Committee working hard to improve the local environment for the people of Macclesfield. Graham was part of the team of Conservative Councillors that took Macclesfield Borough Council from a CPA rating of “Poor” in 2000 to that of “Good” in 2004.

This experience of working within the public sector together with his business skills has given Graham an extra dimension to his problem solving approach. Graham believes that there needs to be a fundamental change in the way that politicians represent their electorate both locally and nationally. Graham believes that as a Businessman  with a young family, and a strong sense of community service with over 20 years experience in   business and local government  he brings a new and dynamic approach to Conservative politics. 

Graham also believes that people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care, and Graham cares passionately about his family, Business, Community and Country. Too many politicians are seen by the electorate as self serving, however Graham is keen to bring a new set values and skills to the party.
