She was president of the Oxford Law Society and counted William Hague, later Conservative Party leader, as a friend.
[7][8] Accompanied by a large contingent of reporters, Horlick flew to the company's headquarters in Frankfurt to demand that her job be reinstated.
As her future husband later described it, "Amid rumours that she was going to defect to a rival, Horlick had been suspended from a senior job ... She took the trip to Germany accompanied by a piranha shoal of story-hungry hacks.
[2] In a May 2017 LinkedIn blog post, Horlick stated that her preferred outcome at the forthcoming 2017 United Kingdom general election was a hung parliament.
[15] Horlick encouraged voters in constituencies "where Labour won last time" to vote Labour (under then leader Jeremy Corbyn) so that the UK would "not end up with 'hard' Brexit", and that "the important thing is to avoid a large Tory majority if we are to protect the economic future of our country".
[15] In the wake of the EU referendum, she wrote of her strong opposition to Brexit and cautious support of the Liberal Democrats.
[17] Horlick was unsuccessful in her bid to become the MP for Chelsea and Fulham at the 2019 United Kingdom general election; incumbent Greg Hands retained the seat for the Conservatives.
Horlick has been called "Superwoman" in the media for balancing her high-flying finance career with bringing up six children, Georgina, Alice, Serena, Antonia, Rupert, and Benjie.
[9] Journalists writing about the role of mothers in the workplace refer to her as an exemplar of "having it all",[18] although Horlick acknowledges her reliance on paid help.
"[20] This nickname came from Shirley Conran's book Superwoman, and apparently pre-dates Horlick's media fame.
[25] She supports charities such as Just a Drop, which works for clean drinking water worldwide,[26] UNICEF, and Great Ormond Street Hospital.
