Jon Gilbey
Jon Gilbey was elected in the 2013 Isle of Wight council elections to represent the people of Shanklin.
He held a role as an Executive member for Highways PFI, but decided to stand down when Richard Priest was sacked from the Executive.
Jon Gilbey runs a cafe in Shanklin called Paramount Cafe.
He became Executive member for Major contracts management (PFI and Waste) in January 2017 under the leadership of Conservative, Dave Stewart.
He stood at the May 2017 council elections, but failed to keep his seat, so also lost his Executive member position too, enabling him to focus on running his cafe.
