Small businesses are the backbone of the British economy, and nowhere more so than in Bucks. So it was good to meet FSB Thames Valley in the House of Commons this afternoon.
Businesses that adapt are businesses that grow. It was great to visit two local firms that are doing just that. Alcom It in Aylesbury has shifted its focus from High St retail to outsourced digital support and is now building a cyber security team.
It was a pleasure to be a guest at the graduation ceremony for the School of Health & Social Care Professions at Buckinghamshire New University this afternoon.
It was good to visit the award-winning Aston Clinton food business PHOMO this morning - winners of the Small Business Goes Big Campaign with their slogan “Make dinner-un-phogettable”.
I had a fantastic time this morning at Knit and Natter organised by CPJField Heritage and Sons at the Buckinghamshire Community Wellbeing Hub Buckinghamshire New University on Walton Street in Aylesbury.
As the holiday season gets underway, it was good to visit Moggie Motel in Cryer's Hill - a home-from-home for cats when their owners are away. Proprietor Melanie has built up the business over the past 14 years, and there's now space for 46 cats to have their own summer break.
