Describing himself, he said that,
I have been fortunate enough to enjoy a successful business career. I co-founded a large investment firm, working with companies from Silicon Valley to Bangalore. I then used that experience to help small and enterprising British companies grow successfully. From working in my mother’s small chemist shop to my own experience building large businesses, I have seen firsthand how politicians must support free enterprise and innovation to ensure our future prosperity.
