Banbury Candidate
Paul Topley

Paul Topley is a dedicated advocate for change and a prominent figure within Reform UK, standing as a PPC with a clear vision to address the pressing issues facing our society today.

Amidst rising national debt and rampant immigration issues, Paul champions policies aimed at restoring order and accountability. He criticizes the neglect of essential services like healthcare and education, burdened by bureaucratic inefficiencies that hinder frontline workers. Paul finds hope in Reform UK's straightforward, common-sense approach, contrasting it with the Conservative Party's internal strife and mismanagement.

Central to Paul's platform is Reform UK's proposal to raise the income tax threshold to £20,000, coupled with a thorough overhaul of the benefits system. This initiative aims to reintegrate millions of economically inactive individuals into the workforce, promoting both financial stability and mental well-being—a transformation he believes will benefit society at large.

Paul's journey is rooted in entrepreneurial success. He founded Churches Fire & Security three decades ago, transforming it into a leading national fire protection service provider with over 500 employees. His decision to sell the business and step back from corporate life reflects his desire for new challenges and a commitment to public service.

Beyond his political ambitions, Paul is a passionate outdoorsman who enjoys fishing, shooting, and avidly following football and cricket. His dedication to sustainability is evident in his love for cooking and growing seasonal produce, aligning with his belief in supporting local agriculture.

Paul resides with his partner Amber, who actively contributes to their community as a school governor and volunteer at a local food bank. Together with their Vizsla, Lacey, and children Alex and Emilie, Paul is driven by a shared commitment to shaping a brighter future for all.
