New Zealand is watching its young people leave, its businesses struggle to compete, and its public services crumble — while a National government with no plan for the digital future stands by and lets it happen. The biggest economic disruption of our lifetime is already underway, and working families deserve a Labour government that's ready to make it work for them — not just for shareholders and multinationals.

Brendan is a technology entrepreneur and digital leader with over thirty years of experience building the systems that keep economies moving. Originally from Yorkshire, England, he came to New Zealand seeking a better way of life — and found it.

He has designed digital transformation across fintech, healthcare, aviation, and supply chain — including helping build the digital trade infrastructure that serves New Zealand's exporters.  He is not a career politician — he is a builder who decided to stand.

Brendan is standing for Labour because he believes Parliament needs people who have actually built things: who understand what AI is doing to our workforce, what our exporters need to compete globally, and how digital tools can make public services genuinely work for people.

He wants to fight for a New Zealand Future Fund to back Kiwi startups and retain state assets, for digital skills training that leaves no one behind, and for healthcare and education systems that use technology to serve an ageing population and prepare the next generation for the world they will actually inherit.

Brendan lives on Auckland's North Shore with his family. He is working hard across East Coast Bays to listen to what matters to the people in this community.

He will bring clarity, integrity, and real-world expertise to Parliament — and fight every day to make sure Labour's values shape New Zealand's digital future.
