Sean Houlston joined the first training day of the Conservatives Together Fellowship (Bolingbroke Cohort), held in London.
The Fellowship brings together rising Conservative voices for a year-long programme focused on leadership, campaigning, and public service.
The opening session was introduced by Sir Grant Shapps, followed by contributions from leading Conservatives including Lord Darren Mott, Robert Courts KC, Luke Graham, Paul Scully, Laura Dunn, and Peter Botting.
Sean said:
“It’s a privilege to be part of the Bolingbroke Cohort. The Fellowship is about learning from those who have shaped our party and building the next generation of Conservative leaders grounded in integrity, service, and practical campaigning. I’m looking forward to putting the lessons from today into practice.”
Named after Henry St John, Viscount Bolingbroke – the second leader of the Conservative Party – this cohort represents the second intake of Fellows since the programme’s creation, reflecting the growing investment in developing local, political, and community leadership across the Conservative movement.
