Roberts moved to Colchester in Essex after graduating, to work as a research chemist for BX Plastics.[19] She joined the local Conservative Association and attended the party conference at Llandudno in 1948, as a representative of the University Graduate Conservative Association.[20] One of her Oxford friends was also a friend of the Chair of the Dartford Conservative Association in Kent, who were looking for candidates.[20] Officials of the association were so impressed by her that they asked her to apply, even though she was not on the Conservative party's approved list: she was selected in January 1941 and added to the approved list post ante.[21] At a dinner following her formal adoption as Conservative candidate for Dartford in February 1941, she met Denis Thatcher, a successful and wealthy divorced businessman, who drove her to her Essex train.[20][21] In preparation for the election, Roberts moved to Dartford and became a research chemist for J. Lyons and Co. in Hammersmith, as part of a team developing emulsifiers for ice cream.[20][22]
