Background
Suzanne has served as Minister in the Whips' Office and as a Parliamentary Private Secretary in the Prime Minister's Office, International Trade, Defence and Education.
Suzanne was also integral to the 2017 Andy Street Mayoral campaign and subsequent mayoral elections.
Outside of politics, Suzanne has had a successful career in a world-leading logistics company for over 29 years. For the last 15 years of her career, she audited significant project investments across a global platform. She understands first-hand the United Kingdom's important role in a worldwide market.
Suzanne is an ardent campaigner to protect land from being removed from the Green Belt, and this goes back to 2013 when she set up a groundswell community group called Project Fields.
Since then, she campaigned for the Conservative Party in the 2015 and 2017 General Elections, mayoral elections, and countless local government elections. In 2018, she became a City Councillor, overturning a 40-year labour incumbency, who happened to be the mayor-elect. It was a seismic win for the party.
She also became the Conservative Area Chairman in one of the most diverse political regions, covering Birmingham, Coventry, and Solihull.
In 2018, Suzanne passionately spoke on the main stage at the Conservative Party Conference about the importance of a world-class education system for everyone.
In 2019, Suzanne became the Conservative Regional Chairman for the entire West Midlands, a region that politically bucked the national trend in the 2019 General Election. She stepped down when she was elected as the MP for Stourbridge.
