I'm here to deliver results
Born and raised in Conisbrough, I saw firsthand how local communities suffer when ignored. My upbringing in a working-class mining town shaped my work ethic, values, and determination to succeed.
With nearly three decades of experience delivering billions in growth for global businesses, I bring something no other candidate offers: the proven ability to transform failing systems into thriving successes.
Straight Talking
An Open Letter to Mark Chadwick on DSA
Responding to #saveDSA on the £57 million loan, the Superior Lease, and what councillors were and weren't shown before voting.
Read full postThe lease the councillors did not see
Elected members approved £57 million of borrowing without having read the contract that would determine whether the airport could operate, what rent the council would pay, on what terms the landlord could walk away, and with what consequences for the taxpayer if passenger numbers fell short.
I want Doncaster Sheffield Airport open. That's exactly why I'm calling time on this deal.
When Oliver Coppard starts writing attack posts about Doncaster councillors, you know the argument isn't going well. Labour has wheeled out the big guns because the substance isn't there. So let's deal with the substance.
What the council told the Land Registry
On 19 August 2024, the City of Doncaster Council lodged a Land Registry search certifying its intended purchase of a commercial building. It had not agreed to buy it.
The passenger number behind the £57 million
Councillors approved £57 million of borrowing on a passenger forecast of 2.5 million a year. The council's own later modelling shows 1.1 million. The regulator's forecast is 1.16 million. Only one of those numbers was in front of members on the night of the vote.

For nearly 50 years, Labour has controlled Doncaster, presiding over decline, squandering opportunities, and building a system that serves bureaucrats — not its people. Their legacy? Doncaster as Yorkshire's crime capital. A stagnant economy. Millions wasted. Services in shambles.
