Speech Day 6 September, 2018 Celebrating achievements and success over the academic year 2017-2018 Introducing our guest speaker: Ben Bradley MP
Born in Ripley, Derbyshire, Ben attended Derby Grammar School between 2001 and 2008. He graduated with a first-class honours degree in Politics from Nottingham Trent University in 2013. Following this, he took on several roles, including a landscape gardener, an administrator for the Open University and a recruitment consultant, before taking on the role of campaign manager for Mark Spencer, the Member of Parliament for Sherwood prior to the 2015 General Election. In 2015, Ben stood and was elected as a District Councillor in Hucknall, and was duly appointed as Group Leader for the Conservative Group on Ashfield District Council. He became Mr Spencer’s Parliamentary Office Manager, and in early 2017 successfully stood and was elected for Nottinghamshire County Council, again representing Hucknall North. Ben became Member of Parliament for Mansfield in the snap General Election in June 2017. He was the first Conservative to be elected in Mansfield since the constituency’s creation in 1858, unseating the previous incumbent of 30 years. He served as Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party between January and July 2018, with responsibility for youth engagement. In March, Ben re-launched the ‘Young Conservatives’ organisation, the national youth wing of the Conservative Party. The 28 year old MP is married with two children, and outside of politics is also the Chairman of Newark Hockey Club. Order of proceedings
