Andy Street is the former Mayor of the West Midlands (2017–2024). He won two unexpected elections in 2017 and 2021 in what many regarded as a Labour heartland. He remains a leading voice for the West Midlands and for strong, empowered regions that can deliver for local communities and strengthen the economy.
Before entering politics, Andy was Managing Director of John Lewis and he brings a clear business perspective to public service. He is also Chair of the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. Andy believes Prosper UK exists to make a serious, pro enterprise case for growth and opportunity, to bring together people who feel politically homeless, and to prove that centre right politics can deliver.
