Alan Johnson - Speaker

Alan Johnson is the ultimate modern-thinking politician who stands up for his beliefs and truly delivers for those he represents. This highly respected former Labour MP has held key positions such as Home Secretary, Education Secretary, and Health Secretary, all while representing Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle. Alan's impressive career began when he was elected as the youngest General Secretary in the history of the Union of Communication Workers in January 1992. He later went on to become a Labour MP in 1997.
One of his notable accomplishments was his successful campaign for the British Fishermen's Association, which resulted in securing compensation for them 25 years after the government's agreement with Iceland ended the Cod Wars and devastated the distant water trawlermen industry. Beyond his political career, Alan is also known as a Beatles superfan. He has authored three books, including the Orwell prize-winning autobiography titled 'This Boy' and the acclaimed works 'Please, Mister Postman' and 'The Long and Winding Road', all named after songs by the Fab Four. If you find that each working day feels like a 'hard day's night' and you need assistance in bringing your team together for effective decision-making, then it's time to turn to Alan for a knowledge bomb of inspiration to help you 'get back' to your best.
