After serving under both Labour and Tory Governments as a trade advisor, Matthew Haggitt decided to dip his toes into the world of politics himself when he ran for Parliament in 2015 in his home constituency of St. Albans. Winning handily (despite the seat tending to be marginal between the Lib Dems and the tories), Haggitt was placed on the International Trade select committee soon after being elected.
