Bridget Rose

Bridget Rose has had a successful 24 year career as an Army officer and has now left the Forces to run as a candidate for Libertas. She was at school in Sutton Coldfield and in London before studying medieval history at St Andrews University. She joined the military and has served in a wide range of challenging appointments including in Bosnia and Afghanistan where she was the NATO spokesperson for the regional command south. Her last appointment was as the Military Assistant to the Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of NATO in Europe where she had regular contact with the EU and its complex beaurocracy. It was this that inspired her to join the Libertas campaign for more accountability, transparency and democracy within the Union.

During a four year gap in service Bridget had experience in the City where she worked for N M Rothschild in the gold markets and ran a successful small business in Herefordshire making smoked game products for restaurants and retailers.

Bridget lives in Herefordshire and has a small holding growing cider apples for a local business which she has done for 10 years. She has been a member of the Parish Council and is a staunch member of the British Legion. Bridget has created a wonderful fruit maze with over 60 different varieties of fruit tree and loves music and art.

The importance of this election cannot be underestimated – each day that goes by sees Brussels notching up new powers and the time has come to halt the steamroller and to re establish the democratic voice.
