Almost everywhere you look, Faversham and Mid Kent is teeming with brilliant businesses who we could be doing more to help grow.
In never ceases to amaze me how many diverse businesses we have locally. From farms to foundries, health tech to rocket manufacturers. Possibly the only thing they have in common is how tough they've found the last few years. Brexit uncertainty, COVID, and inflation have given businesses lots to think about besides expanding.
But now we're out the other side, we've got to start to get businesses thinking about growing again.
Taking the next step can be challenging - and under this Labour government, it’s becoming even harder. From job taxes and increasing red tape to unclear legislation, Labour simply doesn’t understand what businesses need to grow and succeed.
The Conservatives are on the side of business. We recognise that businesses are the backbone of our economy, and I will continue doing everything I can to support them. I often meet with local companies to hear directly what they need from government, so that I can push for this in Parliament.
