Rebecca has lived in Reigate constituency since 2015 and has been a County Councillor representing Tadworth, Walton and Kingswood since May 2021. She held the position of Deputy Cabinet Member to the Leader of Surrey County Council from 2021 to 2023. She is married with 3 children and is very much part of her community.
Rebecca has been an active campaigner on issues that matter to residents. In 2022, she launched a 'fairer road funding' campaign to fix Surrey's roads - presenting a petition signed by nearly 6000 residents to No10 Downing Street. She is fiercely opposed to ULEZ expansion across Greater London and more recently has launched a campaign to address excessive noise from the concrete road surface between J8-9 on the M25.
Before politics, Rebecca was a Chartered Accountant and Charted Tax Adviser for 20 years. She held the role of Head of UK Tax at Diageo Plc, along with other senior tax roles at PepsiCo, Jigsaw and Ernst & Young. She also founded and ran her own loose leaf tea business, Silver Lantern Tea.
During the pandemic, Rebecca volunteered with a newly formed charity called National Emergencies Trust (NET). In this volunteer role, she set up their finance function, including a new accounting system and oversaw receipt and distribution of nearly £100m of donations.
In her spare time, Rebecca enjoys walking in the many beautiful green spaces within Reigate constituency, but her absolute favourite thing is a strong cup of tea and a slice of cake!
