Connect signs up Smith
Connect Public Affairs has recruited former Tory advisor, Andrew Smith, who joins the firm from the manufacturers’ trade association, EEF.
Andrew has ten years’ experience of working in Westminster and Whitehall, having previously worked as political adviser to Alan Duncan MP during his time as Shadow Secretary of State for International Development, Shadow Transport Secretary and Shadow Business Secretary.
Andrew cut his political teeth working in the Conservative Research Department, working on the Home Affairs desk, among others.
Andrew is also a Conservative Westminster City Councillor, having recently won the by-election in Sir Simon Milton’s former ward of Lancaster Gate.
Connect’s MD Gill Morris said, “I’m delighted to welcome Andrew to the Connect team. His experience of Westminster and Whitehall, together with his knowledge of the inner workings of the Conservative Party, means we continue to provide our clients with unparalleled advice and strategic counsel.”
