Excerpt: Grant Shapps (born 14 September 1968) is the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Welwyn Hatfield in the United Kingdom. He first won the seat in the general election on 5 May 2005 and was returned to parliament in the May 2010 election with a 17,423 majority. On 9 June 2010, he was appointed as a Privy Counsellor. On 4 September 2012, he was appointed Conservative Party Co-Chairman, replacing Baroness Warsi; he was also appointed Minister without Portfolio, in the Cabinet Office, an unpaid post. Shapps was born in Watford, Hertfordshire to a British Jewish family. He was educated at Yorke Mead Primary School, Watford Grammar School for Boys followed by Cassio College. He completed a business and finance course at Manchester Polytechnic, and received a Higher National Diploma. Shapps was also a B'nai B'rith youth leader. In 1989, Shapps was in a car crash in Kansas, USA, leaving him in a coma for a week. Shapps has founded a number of businesses, sometimes under pseudonyms. In 1990, aged 22, Shapps founded PrintHouse Corporation, a design, print, website creation and marketing business in London. He stepped down as a director in 2009. In 2004 he attended an internet conference posing as 'multimillion-dollar web marketer' Michael Green. In 2006, using the same pseudonym, he gave a tour of the Houses of Parliament to his business partners. In 2005, he founded HowToCorp, a web business selling self-help guides and a software package, TrafficPaymaster, which creates web pages by spinning and scraping content from other sites to attract advertising from Google, breaching Google's code of practice. Using the names Michael Green and Sebastian Fox, Shapps claimed people could make $20,000 in 20 days guaranteed or your money back. A string of 19 website businesses founded by Shapps (occasionally operating as Michael Green) were later blacklisted by Google for breaches of its rules on copyright infringement, and were banned from carrying Google's advertisements.
