Biography
Iain was born on the 18th of September 1972 and was raised with his parents in Hamilton, central Scotland. His Father was a computer systems analyst and his Mother worked for Marks and Spencer. Iain went to Hutchesons’ Grammar School in Glasgow.

Iain first moved to Milton Keynes in 1993 for his first job after graduating from Exeter University with an honours degree in Politics. He trained as an accountant with Coopers and Lybrand in Central Milton Keynes and lived in Walnut Tree, which now forms part of the new MK South constituency.

Iain used to run a research unit in Westminster which provides a detailed analysis of Government legislation for its clients, which includes members of the Shadow Cabinet. This work allowed Iain to understand the wastage and disregard for people’s interest that was happening from central government. He has also written a number of articles and books on political issues.

Iain now lives in Tattenhoe and commutes daily by train from Bletchley to his job as a Board Practice Special Advisor for the executive search firm Odgers, Ray and Berndston.

Politics
Iain doesn’t come from a long political dynasty, except that his uncle is involved in the Labour Party, but he gained an interest in current affairs when he was a student at Exeter and realised that politics was central to most of the key issues in life. Following University Iain decided that he wanted to stand up and argue for people rather than just shout about the key issues of the day from the sidelines. Iain feels that he should give something back to the community that has accepted him over the last fifteen years and has let him call Milton Keynes his home.

One of the reasons that he stood for his local parish council of Shenley Brook End and Tattenhoe, was so that he is able to work with his local councillors to improve the quality of life for his fellow residents especially, the Council’s objective of improving the range of sporting opportunities and activities for young people.

Iain cut his campaigning teeth by standing in the first Scottish Parliament elections contesting the seat of Glasgow Rutherglen in 1999. Although Glasgow is not the most pro-Conservative city Iain was able to gain 2,315 votes coming fourth.

Iain turned his focus to his home of Milton Keynes and stood for the Milton Keynes Conservatives in Milton Keynes South seat reducing Labour’s majority from over 10,000 to 4,000 focussing the campaign on local issues that really matter to people. Iain is a seasoned campaigner and is working hard to let the people of Milton Keynes know that they do have a positive alternative to Labour at the next general election.

Iain runs a number of local campaigns to make sure that people’s concerns are heard and listened to.

Hobbies
A regular but sometimes reluctant runner, Iain enjoys competing in marathons and other long distance runs, training with his friends Chris and Kate, to both keep fit and raise money for good causes. Iain has run the London Marathon, the MK half-marathon and has raised money for Macmillan Cancer Relief, MK SNAP and Sportsaid. Iain completed his latest marathon in 1 hour 55 minutes and 55 seconds at the NSPCC MK half-marathon on the 20th July 2008.

To help his running Iain goes to the gym but watches films and plays to relax and spending time with friends, using them to practice his cooking. Iain is confident that he hasn’t poisoned any of his family members or friends so watch out Delia or Jamie!
