Graham has lived in South Lanarkshire all his life both in Hamilton and East Kilbride. He has a grown up family who all live locally and in his profession as a Retail Manager of over 20 years is currently working in the area.

"Since school, I have always been interested in politics and how the State serves the people. Now that my children are adults I felt the time was right for me to look at what part I can play in improving the local community. In my role as Chairman my goal is to galvanise support for the party, build a unified team and ensure that whatever happens politically in South Lanarkshire the Conservative voice is heard."

Graham does volunteer work in association with a local charity in South Lanarkshire helping with people who are isolated from society by playing part in a befriending program. He also regularly volunteers to help out with a local tenants and residents association who are trying to improve living standards for those who are struggling.

"I guess I am a traditionalist at heart but with a passion for using new technologies to improve the lives of anyone who I come into contact with."
