Our Story

Ten years ago none of us knew one another.  But over recent years we have either worked alongside each other as Councillors, or in our professions in the City.  We all come from different backgrounds, political traditions and bring those diverse voices to all our conversations.  Our shared love of the square mile, and belief that we should all give something back to our community through public service, is our connecting thread.

Promoted by Tom Sleigh, on behalf of himself, Simon Duckworth, Karina Dostalova, Simon Burrows, Shravan Joshi and Ben Murphy.
