Labour Shadow Minister meets businesses in Peterborough

The Chamber recently arranged a private roundtable event at Orton Hall Hotel with Bill Esterson MP, Labour’s Shadow Business and Industry Minister, with Chamber members to discuss challenges they are currently facing. Mr Esterson was joined by Labour’s Parliamentary Candidate for Peterborough, Andrew Pakes. The event was also joined by Peterborough and Cambridgeshire Mayor, Dr Nik Johnson.

Shadow Business Minister Bill Esterson MP said: “It was great to meet with local businesses in Peterborough and hear about the great work they are doing.

“Our Industrial Strategy has a long-term approach, creating certainty, stability and investment for local businesses. We recognise the vital role that small and local businesses play in our economy, serving local communities, providing good quality local jobs, and boosting growth. Specifically for small businesses, Labour would scrap and transform business rates, tackle late payments, and reform the apprenticeship levy.

“Labour wants to work in partnership with business, to support prosperity for businesses and workers in Peterborough, and communities right across the country.”

Sadie Parr, Head of Operations at Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce, said: “This was a great opportunity for some of our members to meet with Mr Esterson and hear the support that could be offered to businesses. Those attending also had the opportunity to share their views on what is needed to improve business conditions.”

Andrew Pakes, Labour’s Parliamentary Candidate for Peterborough, added: “Backing local businesses and creating new jobs is top of my agenda for Peterborough. We are a proud working city, but it has been a tough few years for businesses and families. “Our future success will be built on making it easier for businesses to thrive and do well, investing in the skills of the future, and ensuring a partnership between employers and government to ensure we can grab hold of the opportunities before us.”
