Delivering events with a voice…
Supporting education, animal welfare and business with a dose of politics.
Whether you have a passion for politics, a love of animals or a desire to see all young people get a great education, I hope you will find something of interest at Novus.
Throughout my career in the textiles industry, and certainly whilst I was a politician, I have been exposed to the strengths of our country and our challenges. And that’s why I have set up Novus – to run events championing interests close to my heart and giving key people a voice.
Passion for Politics
Throughout my career as a politician I have been fortunate to make many friends and connections. I have learned to value their opinions - even those sitting on the opposite side! That passion for politics has lead to my desire to run political events. I want to give people the chance to learn more about the plans of our political leaders and share their voice on the issues that matter to them.
These intimate events will give you real insight into the complex challenges we face going forward.
Love of Animals
I have always been a dog lover, and I hate any kind of cruelty to animals. I started following a campaign for a change to legislation in Westminster around puppy farming and decided to support it with a private members’ bill in Northern Ireland. Doing that gave me insight into the work of the USPCA and contacts across the world of animal welfare.
I now want to run events to give these people a voice, raising awareness and sometimes funds, to support the erosion of animal cruelty.
Excellent Education for All
I believe the only way to tackle poverty is through a good education. From my time as a politician I have championed all children accessing the right education, and being given the best chance of a good start in life.
I now run events giving the education sector a voice - people who have overcome the odds and go on to achieve, the educationalists and the supporting charity sector. If you share that passion, please look out for these events.
