A real pleasure to work with and a exceptional member of any team. – The Rt Hon. Tom Tugendhat MP, Minister of State for Security
It was fantastic to work with Ed during the establishment of the China Research Group. He was resourceful, proactive and passionate and worked incredibly hard to generate momentum behind this most important cause. His focus and determination, as well as teamwork, put him in prime position for service to his community. – Neil O'Brien MP, Minister at the Department of Health and Social Care
Ed was a great addition to the campaign team, out with us regularly in K&C during the election. His enthusiasm & character on the doorstep was infectious and his ability to communicate with voters about their concerns was excellent. With this, and his work setting up Conservatives in the City, Ed clearly demonstrates his passion for the Party, its values and its people. – Felicity Buchan MP, Minister at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities
Ed was a hard worker and excellent candidate during the 2019 General Election campaign. On the doorstep he was able to empathise with voters in a tough fight and his cheerfulness during the campaign made it all the more enjoyable. The qualities I saw in Ed from his ability to communicate through to his organisational skills and determination mark him out as a top candidate and future MP. – Peter Smallwood, Vice President Conservative National Convention
Ed is a born leader - motivational, talented and an example of a rising star within the Party. His experience in policy making at a local and national level alongside his campaigning know-how, personability, charm and political effectiveness make him a formidable new force in Conservative politics. An asset to any constituency, our Party and our country. Ed is clearly one to watch. – John Belsey, South-East Regional Chairman Conservative Party
Ed is a great friend and a determined campaigner, embodying everything we need more of throughout the Conservative Party. Always available with advice, support and ideas, Ed is a great guy to have beside you whether you’re on the doorstep canvassing or speaking with a Cabinet minister. This is made all the more impressive when you find out he was formerly an Officer in the Royal Artillery! All joking aside, week in, week out Ed is spreading the message and helping others across the country and his work with CF Armed Forces, which I have clearest oversight of, has been exemplary. – James Clark, President of Conservative Friends of the Armed Forces
