Nigel John Mills (born 1974) is a Conservative Party politician in England. He has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Amber Valley since the 2010 general election, when he won the seat with a majority of 536.
Mills was born in Jacksdale on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border, and was educated at a Loughborough Grammar School and went on to study Classics at Newcastle University.
Mills qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1999, working for PricewaterhouseCoopers until early 2010, moving on to Deloitte working as a Tax Adviser to businesses.
Mills was a borough councillor for the ward of Horsley, Horsley Woodhouse and Shipley, sitting on the Amber Valley borough council. He was also a Heanor and Loscoe Town Councillor.
During Parliamentary recess in 2011, Mills volunteered with Voluntary Service Overseas in Tajikistan in a placement designed to improve the business environment and therefore stimulate the creation of jobs for more economically and socially vulnerable groups in the country. In 2012 Mills volunteered again in Tajikistan with VSO, advising the government on how to improve the business environment to attract investment and create jobs.
In October 2011, Mills voted for a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union. In August 2013, he voted against the Government's motion calling for support of possible British intervention in Syria.
