Redcar PPC
John Davies

I am John Davies, I was born and raised in the constituency, residing in Grangetown throughout its most troubled years. My father worked at British Steel for many years, both of my brothers worked at Chorus and SSI before the sad and avoidable end came for our blast furnace. My mother, now retired, was a care worker who toiled very long shifts in various Saltburn nursing homes.

I went to Gillbrook School on Normanby road, equidistant to South Bank and Eston. At the age of 19 I was elected as Vice Chair of the Future Regeneration Of Grangetown Community Forum. Although I departed for university after two years, this organisation is still going strong some 28 years later having many great achievements to its name. Most of my career has been spent in building services, facilities management and later in construction as a Quantity Surveyor/Project Manager.

I have a small contractor accommodation business which is based in Redcar. This area is in my blood and in my heart, quite frankly we deserve better than the many years of Labour, LibDem, conservative chaos and disaster.

I have a wife, young daughter, a house that needs renovation and a cat that that never seems to have been fed well enough.

Why am I standing as a candidate?

In the last 23 years we have elected and rejected MPs from all three major political parties.

It is said that if you always do what you have always done, then you will always get what you have always been given. It really is time to do something different!

If we want to change things in a radically different way then it is time to vote for a radically different alternative. Up until now there has been a very poor choice on the ballot paper.

As your Reform UK candidate in the next election, I want to offer you a real choice.
