Veterans In Politics- Season 4, Episode 4 with  Alderman Ryan McCready

UUP councillor Ryan McCready’s videos have made him an online hit — racking up thousands of views, including one of him on a skateboard.  We joke about this from the offset of the episode, but also comment how this is helping him engage with a younger audience.

The decorated former soldier, who served in Afghanistan, has been entertaining his followers on social media with his surfing and indoor skateboarding. Some of his clips have been watched thousands of times.

He previously served as a Royal Irish soldier, and was elected to Derry City and Strabane District Council in the 2019 local government elections.  Ryan serves in the UUP alongside its leader Doug Beattie MC, a previous guest of the show, and we chat about when they first met in uniform, in the same Battalion, many years ago.  When Doug was the RSM!

Ryan is a passionate and great communicator, fired up by a better world for his family.  He served for 18 years in the army, service that not only saw him on operational tours, but as an instructor at Sandhurst, and unsurprisingly we ask him about his observations on leadership.

A veteran in politics.

You will no doubt hear more and more about Ryan in the future!
