“I have known Charles for four years.  He is a consummate campaigner - hard-working, committed, and imaginative.  Over fifteen years, he has worked at every level of our Party, as an association foot soldier and officer.  He has the grass-roots experience, the organisational skills, and the successful business background that our Board needs to take the Party forward under David Cameron.”

Charles is a star of the voluntary party in the Midlands.   He makes campaigning for the Conservative Party fun and inspires others to join in. And, during a crisis, he is a cool head of reason.

“I’m backing Charles to be a vice-president of the National Convention. His energy and commitment to the Party in Birmingham has been exceptional ever since he was a YC. Charles was an outstanding constituency chairman, and has played a key part in rebuilding the Party in our city. He has been instrumental in bringing the Party Conference to Birmingham, and as leader of the Council I look forward to welcoming you here next year.”

“Over the past two years Charles has engaged in a new dialogue building trust between the Conservatives and the Muslim community in Birmingham. He arranged for David Cameron to visit us in February showing that your party really is keen to engage with the whole of British society. It is down to Charles that we now have Conservative Party members within our Mosque congregation.”
