Hapton

I'm working with businesses across Burnley and Padiham to reduce unemployment and grow our local economy. They're the backbone of our area employing our family and friends.

We need a voice which will champion them all. And bring together employers big and small to create a high wage, high skill local economy.

  • The Government needs to understand the challenges our SMEs face. Thats why I will continue to visit our local businesses every week. And feed in their views directly.
  • I will always raise our local companies in Parliament. Shouting about what we can offer and making sure the focus is on their growth.
  • I continue to meet with businesses large and small, to direct investment into our borough.
