Labour Chooses Margaret Pinder To Fight In Beverley And Holderness

Labour’s candidate for Beverley and Holderness has been announced as Margaret Pinder who fought the seat in 2015.

 

She is a well-known figure in Beverley, having served as Town Mayor in 2012/13, and is currently Vice-Chair of Molescroft parish council.

Margaret grew up in the East Riding and went to Wolfreton Comprehensive School from where she gained a place at Cambridge to study modern languages. She qualified as a solicitor in London specialising in maritime law. After working for a major international firm in New York, she taught at Harvard before returning to the UK where she established her own consultancy in public sector construction.

She has always been active in her community. During Covid she helped set up the local mutual aid group and worked for the NHS Covid vaccination programme. She also serves on the boards of several charities in the North.

As current polling is predicting a swing to Labour in Beverley and Holderness, Margaret has an unequivocal response:

“It’s clear people here are ready for change. Only Labour can beat the Conservatives in Beverley and Holderness.

This region has tremendous potential that I pledge to unlock. We are ideally placed for green energy, for trade and transport links.

I live here, I know the people here. They work hard and want to see their communities thrive.

For too long this part of the country has been ignored and overlooked in government policy and funding decisions. I promise to change that as a new Labour MP in a Labour government.”
