Nick Botterill

Nicholas Byron "Nick" Botterill (born 14 September 1962) is a British businessman, company director, and Conservative politician.

After that, he was a founding partner in Teddies Nurseries, a childcare provider which expanded to some forty sites around Britain and in the 1990s was among the ten fastest-growing British companies.

[3] He has also served on the boards of several other companies and trusts, including Palatinate Schools Ltd.[1] In 1986, Botterill moved to Hammersmith and soon became a Conservative activist there.

[3] In August 2012, Botterill and his cabinet agreed to sell the land on which two housing estates stood, at West Kensington and Gibbs Green, to a subsidiary of the developer Capco for £105m, and permission was also given for the Earls Court Exhibition Centre to be demolished, as part of a project to create a new 77-acre high-rise urban quarter.

He had expected to win narrowly and explained the loss by pointing to the Lib Dem vote collapsing to Labour and the fast-changing demographics of the borough.

[14] Botterill held his own seat and continued to serve as a borough councillor until the 2018 elections, when he stood again and lost in the Wormholt and White City ward.
