Andrea Thorpe

Chairman of Maidstone and the Weald Conservative Association

Andrea currently works with husband Chris in their family business, designing and manufacturing audio equipment for the broadcast industry.  Both have a television broadcast background, Chris as audio engineer and Andrea on the production side.
