Antony raised the importance of small and medium-sized businesses in Burnley and Padiham.
"Because as we move from response to recovery it's so important that our local businesses are supported, not just by us shopping local but by the opening up of export opportunities that can really drive growth for those in our engineering and manufacturing sectors. Made in Britain has always been a hallmark of quality - it's my intention to help our businesses export all across the world which we know leads to high paid, high skilled jobs for local residents".
