Our Team

We are the researchers, data scientists, strategists, and activists, fixing the problems Britain faces after Brexit.

We conduct polling to help politicians lead debate, not follow it. We design policy for whoever is in government, today or tomorrow. And we give voters the tools to speak to, and persuade, those in power. We believe that when we change minds we change politics for the better.

And that all of this is Best for Britain.

Our board is chaired by Peter Norris. Peter has chaired Virgin Group since 2009 and has over 40 years’ experience in business management, investment banking and has extensive knowledge and understanding of the international economy and its impacts on business and international trade. Peter Co-Convened the UK Trade and Business Commission for its first two years of operation.

The team is led by Chief Executive Naomi Smith, former Executive Director of Campaigns at the business lobby group London First. Prior to focusing on her campaigning work, Naomi spent 15 years working in finance and accounting with the likes of Arthur Andersen, Deloitte, and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, as well as chairing voluntary groups.
