Whether you're one of the over a quarter of local businesses in retail, food, accommodation and recreation – showing the importance of hospitality businesses for our local tourism industry – or based on a high street, business park or from home, if you own or run a business in our constituency – or if you're self-employed – I want to hear from you please!
Do let me know if you'd like to receive more information from me on exporting or expanding, or if you've encountered any specific issues I can make the Secretary of State for Business and Trade and Chancellor of the Exchequer aware of.
Please do share with your neighbouring businesses too, so we can build the biggest picture of our local business economy!
We have 3,550 businesses registered in our constituency, up 5% from when I first became your MP (and 5,000 in self-employment), and it’s been lovely to pop into even more of them than usual over the summer.
