It was great to welcome Lord Digby Jones to speak at our Solent Business Forum. He spoke about the need for innovation and enterprise as a way of building our economy and that Brexit will provide a great opportunity for businesses in Fareham.
It's important not to underestimate the significance of our business community: creating jobs, providing services, paying taxes which then go towards funding our schools and hospitals.
The Solent Business Forum is a fantastic opportunity for business to engage in constructive dialogue with their local MP about the issues which matter most to them, and gives me the opportunity to listen and raise their concerns, ideas or proposals with the Government and campaign for them in Westminster. We are also visited by some big names in business, and Government Ministers.
I would like to Tim and Annemarie Geoghegan for co-ordinating the Solent Business Forum. If you are a local business in Fareham and would like to attend the Solent Business Forum events, email me at [email protected]
