Justin Tomlinson MP said: “Before becoming an MP, I ran my own small business for 10 years. I therefore understand both the opportunities and challenges that running a business can present.  We covered a wide range of subjects including: business confidence, benefits, access to credit, training, payments and taxation.  I look forward to continuing to engage with local employers who have helped us deliver over 8,400 more jobs in Swindon since 2010.”
