In their own words - What constituents say about Geoffrey's effective work for them:
Individual Constituents
“I was very grateful and impressed how quickly Geoffrey was able to help in resolving my PIP claim - the outcome was beyond my expectations and I can’t thank him enough for taking up my cause”
Mr L. Bideford.
“When a friend suggested that we got an appointment with Geoffrey Cox to help us obtain an ASD assessment for our daughter, we didn’t really think it would help much but this couldn’t have been further from the truth. We were amazed by the support offered by Geoffrey and his team. His empathy, experience and advice made a huge difference to our situation. As a result, our daughter received a diagnosis within weeks and the process has now been improved for other families on the ASD pathway in Devon.”
Mr. & Mrs. B. Bideford
“After battling with CAMHS for too long to get the help my child desperately needed, Geoffrey responded to my request straight away and really took the time to understand the problems we had been having trying to make health service and social service professionals listen. His influence got my child that help, and things are finally improving. Geoffrey has probably been the single most important influence on whether my child has a happy and successful adult life, and I will be forever grateful for that.”
J.D. Tavistock
Local Businesses
“I am very pleased to endorse the re-election of Geoffrey Cox. His ongoing support of our business needs has been very much appreciated. He has always demonstrated a detailed understanding of, and concern for, the challenges we face in this rural location.”
Andy Lobato. CEO. Beran Instruments
“Geoffrey has been instrumental in his support for the brewery since its establishment in 1994 and has raised important issues both on local and national levels. He is very approachable and truly understands what it’s like to operate a business in Devon.”
Dartmoor Brewery
Farmers
“We needed to move our stock indoors for the winter but couldn’t because of TB restrictions. Geoffrey’s practical understanding of the issue and the efficient approach shown by him and his team were a breath of fresh air and helped us secure a positive outcome.”
J.S. Weare Giffard
“We were having issues with cattle movements that were time sensitive and had serious consequences for the cattle and the business. We were genuinely surprised by how quickly, sensitively and efficiently the whole situation was dealt with. Geoffrey has a real understanding of issues affecting farmers and backs the rural community.”
R.L. Boyton
Community Organisations
“On behalf of the North Devon Fishermen’s Association, we would like to pass on our grateful thanks for all that Geoffrey Cox has done for the fishing industry of North Devon. When we have called upon him, he has always responded and liaised with past and present Fisheries Ministers. He has always supported our cause.”
John Balls. Chair. NDFA.
“Community Transport is essential for those living in deeply rural areas...Geoffrey has been a strong supporter over the years, has lobbied ministers on our behalf when necessary and we are most grateful for his efforts.”
Martin Prentice, Holsworthy Rural Community Transport
“HMP Dartmoor supports the livelihoods of hundreds if not thousands of people in and around Devon and Cornwall. In 2013, after an announcement was made that the prison would shut in 2023, staff had given up hope. In 2018 after a visit to the Prison, Geoffrey set up a Parliamentary group to oppose the closure. His actions have given us all hope after years of stress, worry and uncertainty. It is nice to know that there is someone out there fighting for our jobs and the local economy.”
John Mumford, POA Branch Chairman, HMP Dartmoor
