Speaker: Richard Benyon, Conservative MP for Newbury
Topic: Political Update

Richard was re-elected as the local MP in May 2010 with a majority of 12,248. What transpired was a co-alition government where Richard was appointed Minister for the Natural Environment and Fisheries. As a local farmer and businessman this appointment was a natural extension to his previous role as Shadow Minister for the Environment, Fisheries and Wildlife. As a former soldier and a founder Trustee of the charity Help for Heroes, Richard takes a great interest in defence issues and the welfare of servicemen and their families. Other special interests include, Africa, particularly Zimbabwe, Northern Ireland and of course, rural affairs.

He was born and brought up in West Berkshire and in addition to his parliamentary work, Richard has been involved in a number of local organisations. These include the Citizens Advice Bureau, Mary Hare School and the Kennet and Pang Valley Countryside Project. He was a local Councillor in the 1990’s. Always keen to have the opportunity to address a business audience, the West Berks Chamber of Commerce is delighted to welcome Richard to the monthly business lunch. There will be the opportunity to quiz Richard at the event, however if you would like to table a question in advance please email customerservices@thamesvalleychamber.co.uk
