Over the last few weeks we have published a variety of lists, categorising a number of the next generation of Conservative MPs - the candidates fighting Tory-held or top 200 target seats at the next general election.
There was much demand among readers for a list of those with business experience, which I have attempted to compile below.
It is by no means an exhaustive list of all of those who have worked in the private sector, but rather seeks to identify those who have found themselves making decisions about hiring and firing people etc, having set up or run a business themselves, been involved in running a family business, or held a senior position in a larger business.
If you are a candidate and feel that I should have included you in the list below, please email me.
