Mr. Small is a former partner in a global management consulting firm, where he led a team modernising and regulating public telecommunications networks. He is from a medical family and grew up in Harley Street near the first hospital of Florence Nightingale, whose biography he was later to write. He is widowed with two daughters and five grandchildren and now lives near Montagu Square. He joined the Green Party because their economic policies seemed closest to what he experienced in industry. He authors a ‘political economy’ blog at www.matureeconomy.org.
Mr. Small said ‘I am delighted to be chosen to contest Marylebone High Street of which I have many fond childhood memories going back to the 1950s and which has become a jewel in London’s crown’.
