Chris Winslow

Chris Winslow, founded Greenhaus in 2002 after having been a former special adviser to the late First Minister Donald Dewar, where he worked in his policy unit. He was also head of policy and message for Scottish Labour during the 2001 General election. He was also involved in an investaigation in the year 2000 by the Parliamentary standards commissioner. This was when a complaint was lodged to the commissioner that Dr John Reid MP and John Maxton MP had employed three parliamentary researchers who had subsequently worked full-time in election campaigns for the Labour Party. This would have been a clear breach of parliamentary rules. The complaint was not upheld however. Mr Winslow was one of the researchers, he was employed by John Maxton MP. The other two researchers concerned were employed by Dr Reid. They were Suzanne Hilliard and Dr Reids son Kevin Reid. Incidentally, Jamie Maxton, John Maxton's son is today an employee of Greenhaus.
