Career
Bartolotti started in the London
fashion business, with a company Hayward Fashions set up by her husband (Mark
Hayward) from 1975-86.[2] Bartolotti
wrote [1] of
making a shift into electronics, then that she started Encrypta Electronics and
moved to South Wales with her young family. However Encrypta Electronics was a
family company founded in 1985 by Mark Hayward and his father Gil Hayward (see
obituary [3])
to supply security equipment (*);
Bartolotti joined as director/manager in 1992. In her time as manager till 1997,
Encrypta failed to file annual reports. She and her husband also became
directors of Toucan Systems until their sudden departure in 2002. In 1997 Bartolotti
had accepted a position with the Welsh Development Agency working to
grow indigenous businesses; from there she moved to the Welsh Assembly working
on business consultancy. Bartolotti said that, disillusioned with the slow pace
and chronic wastage in civil service, she took early retirement to travel and
to become more involved in green politics.[1] This
coincided with Encrypta going bankrupt in 2002, when Mark Hayward joined UNISTO to head a
section Unisto Encrypta Products supplying electronic seals. Bartolotti
remained as director of Toucan Systems
Ltd till May 2003. She [[2] continued]
with a further company, L'Aviva - nominally in mobility equipment - which
turned over only £5000 in two years trading in its ten years, till dissolved in
2008.[2] Bartolotti
spent much of these later years living in Israel and in making trips to India and
Cuba.[4] In
2009 she returned to Newport (south Wales) and re-launched herself as a
campaigner for justice and peace. She took part in the 2011 'flytilla'
confrontation with Israeli authorities over assistance for Palestinians.[5] She
also made a foray into entertainment, appearing in a TV series of 'Come Dine
with Me'(Episodes 46-50).
Politics
Pippa Bartolotti entered UK politics in
2009 joining the Wales Green Party, part of the Green Party of England and Wales and
was coopted as deputy leader in 2011. She stood for the party at Newport West in the
2010 UK General Election getting 1.1% of the vote, in the 2011 National
Assembly of Wales Election in South Wales East where
the Green Party got 3% [6] and
in the 2012 Welsh Local Government Elections when she got 4.33% of the vote.[7] She
was a candidate for the 2012 Green Party
leadership election[8] in
September 2012 for which she came last out of 4 candidates with 389 first
preference votes equating to 12.62% of the first preference votes. Questions
were raised during the leadership election relating to her family company's
involvement in military electronic supplies and consultancy on atomic weapons
security devices [1].
Her answers on this and a question on supplying equipment to a nuclear weapons
company remained in the air.
