In Edward's own words

Edward formally served in the British military before going on to become a defence analyst and now runs the Government, Defence & National Security division at S&P Global.

Ed has lived in Ravensbury for almost a decade and extended his interests across the community on several fronts. He is a School Governor at Malmsbury Primary where he is focussed on helping develop the IT department and giving children the exposure to wider opportunities.

For many years he was the Director of Rugby at Mitcham & Carshalton RFC where he spearheaded the development of the club from near closure to becoming recognised by the RFU. Having redeveloped the men’s side of the club he also started a flourishing women’s team. In 2019 he created and hosted the first ever London Pride 7’s tournament here in Merton.

His interests are varied holding serval Non-Exec Director positions and is currently setting up the Big Paint Charity which he chairs along with continuing his education most recently having completed an Executive Business Strategy course at Cambridge University.

He very much feels Ravensbury is the forgotten ward, and that no area or person should ever feel left behind, we must always strive for better and expect more from those we elect to govern us. After 30 years of Labour, it is time for change.
