Fantastic afternoon in Plymouth last Friday at a roundtable with small businesses from right across the South West.
We had a real and honest conversation about the pressures businesses are facing, from rising National Insurance costs and burdensome quangos, to high energy prices and planning regulations that are holding back growth and innovation. Hearing directly from local business owners and directors about their experiences was invaluable.
It was great to be joined by small businesses from across the region alongside Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge MP, Ashley Fox MP, John Glen MP and David Reed MP, all listening first-hand to the challenges and opportunities facing our local economy. Conservatives are committed to backing small businesses so they can grow, create jobs and thrive.
If you’re a small business in my constituency and would like to meet with me, please do email me at: [email protected].
