I’ve held meetings with Government officials twice in Downing Street representing our business community and hosted an event for Northamptonshire businesses in 2023 with the Business Minister Kevin Hollinrake which enabled businesses to engage with the Minister directly. Since the General Election, I have engaged with local MPs and will continue to do so. In October 2023, we launched the first NNBN Awards, an initiative to recognise businesses, charities and organisations through the Awards scheme which proved to be extremely successful,
In May 2024, I organised a visit to the Houses of Parliament to meet with MPs and our members from the county. I believe the voice of business is important and invite you to engage with our various initiatives going on to help drive our business community forward.
