Meet the Reform UK Orpington Team
Reform UK Orpington is powered by a growing team of local residents who care about the future of our constituency and the communities within it.
Across Orpington’s seven wards, our team is working to build a stronger local organisation, campaign on the issues that matter to residents and make sure Reform has an active presence throughout the constituency.
Alongside our ward leads and elected councillors, we are fortunate to have a dedicated group of members and volunteers who regularly attend meetings, events and campaigning sessions and help us continue to grow.
BEN GULVIN
Orpington Constituency Lead & Petts Wood and Knoll Lead
Having lived in the Orpington Constituency all his life, Ben has strong roots in the local community and brings considerable energy to our local Reform UK team.
Through his work in the transport and infrastructure sector, Ben understands the importance of reliable and efficient services and the everyday pressures facing residents.
He stood for Reform UK in Petts Wood & Knoll at the 2026 local elections and now leads the development of Reform’s organisation across the whole Orpington constituency.
Ben is passionate about improving local services, supporting businesses, making our streets safer and ensuring residents have a strong local voice.
Representing St Paul’s Cray
Reform UK has three elected councillors within the Orpington constituency.
Cllr Christopher Marlow and Cllr William Rawles were elected to represent St Paul’s Cray in May 2026.
Their priorities include the everyday issues affecting residents, from roads, schools and local services to protecting the Green Belt and looking after valued community spaces such as Hoblingwell Wood, the recreation ground and the River Cray.
More Than Just the Names Above
Our local team extends well beyond our ward leads and councillors.
We have a growing group of members and volunteers who regularly give their time to attend meetings, help at events, campaign within our communities, deliver literature and support Reform UK across the constituency.
Some want to take on formal responsibilities. Others simply want to help whenever they can.
Both are equally valuable.
As Reform UK Orpington continues to grow, there will be plenty of opportunities for more local people to become involved.
Whether you want to attend your first meeting, volunteer occasionally, help with campaigning or take on a larger role within your local ward, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
