Jon Brotherhood

A warm welcome, and thank you for taking the time to read this. I was born in Croydon in 1975 and have lived and worked in Croydon and London all my life. Over the years, I have witnessed significant changes to our town — from the rise of HMOs, high-density developments, and temporary accommodation, to shifts in how our neighbourhoods feel and function. Like many residents, I have invested heavily in my home and remain deeply invested in the future of Croydon. By background, I was fortunate to work as a professional chorister, including with the Royal School of Church Music under Martin Howe. Today, I hold senior roles managing global positions for technology companies, giving me experience of how communities, businesses, and governments succeed — and where they fall short — across different countries and cultures. It is with genuine concern that I feel our great nation has slipped behind many others in recent years. My family roots and my entire life in Croydon have shaped a strong belief in standing up for what is right, protecting our communities, and planning responsibly for the future.
