Julian has an understanding of people, and especially the party, not just politics. He understands politics with a small P as much as politics with a large P. This means he can advise in a kindly way, without alienating. Very very experienced guy within the voluntary party- you couldn’t ask for a better Chairman.
Julian has also been extremely instrumental in helping me sort out a couple of issues that at his level he didn’t need to help with, but he has done so. Always in a polite, expedient, understanding – and effective – way. He cares. He’s the one for the job.
