Richard James Sunley Tice (/ˈtaɪs/; born 13 September 1964) is a British businessman and politician who has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Boston and Skegness and Chairman of Reform UK since 2024, having previously served in the latter role from 2019 to 2021. Since 2023 he has also been Reform UK's Energy and Foreign Policy spokesman.[1] He became the leader of Reform UK in March 2021, but stood down in June 2024 and was succeeded by Nigel Farage.[2]
A multi-millionaire,[3] Tice was the chief executive officer (CEO) of the real estate group CLS Holdings from 2010 to 2014, after which he became CEO of the property asset management group Quidnet Capital LLP. He was a founder and co-chairman of the pro-Brexit campaign groups Leave.EU and Leave Means Leave.
Tice had been a long-term donor and member of the Conservative Party until 2019, when he financed the founding of the Brexit Party, later renamed Reform UK. He was elected a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for East of England at the 2019 European Parliament (EP) election, holding this role until the UK's withdrawal from the European Union (EU) in January 2020. He was elected as Reform UK MP for Boston and Skegness at the 2024 general election.
