Bingham & other Derbyshire Tory candidates 'unrepresentative' of East Midlands workforce say GMB Union

A GMB press release has highlighted how Tory candidates in Derbyshire are 'wholly unrepresentative' of the areas they aim to represent. A GMB survey has found that the occupations of candidates in the East Midlands are drawn from only 15.8% of the workforce - i.e. managers and senior officials.

Bingham's occupation is listed rather vaguely as 'Industry', and his biography on the High Peak Conservatives website tells us the following:

He has worked in industry for most of his life supplying engineering equipment to companies across the High Peak and North West area

Looking at Bingham's register of interests as a Councillor on the High Peak Borough Council website, it's clear that Andrew now works full-time for the local Conservative Association.

The end result is that we seem to know very little about Bingham's past employment and business interests. Any light that can be shed on this is more than welcome.
