Brian Binley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brian Arthur Roland Binley (born May 1, 1942) is a British politician, and is the Conservative Party Member of Parliament for Northampton South.
Educated at Finedon Mulso Secondary Modern School, Brian Binley joined the Conservative Party in 1959. He was an organiser with the National Young Conservatives from 1965 to 1968. He has been the chairman of BCC Marketing Services, the company he founded since 1988. He co-founded Beechwood House Publishing Company Ltd, which was sold to the Wilmington Publishing Group in 2000.
Binley was the parliamentary agent for the Wyre Forest Conservative Association during the 1997 General election campaign. He was elected to Northamptonshire County Council in 1997, where he remains a Cabinet Member. He was selected to contest the Labour-held parliamentary marginal seat of Northampton South, and defeated the sitting Labour MP Tony Clarke at the 2005 general election by over 4,000 votes. Binley made his maiden speech on May 25, 2005.[1]
He and his wife Jacquie have lived in the constituency for over 20 years, and have two grown sons. In 2006 he became the victim of identity theft, when someone tried to divert his bank statements and unsuccessfully attempted to steal £9,000 from him whilst he was in India. The perpetrator wrote to Binley boasting of his exploits. [2]
This autumn Binley's wife Jacquie Binley will be joined by fellow Tories Leon Bailey, Alex Jackman and Brian Jarvis in a charity sky dive. The group will be raising money for the Cynthia Spencer Hospice and the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.
