I was delighted to showcase a selection of our fantastic Shoreham businesses to Jonathan Reynolds, Secretary of State for Business and Trade, alongside Cllr Becky Allinson, Adur District Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration & Strategic Planning.
The Secretary of State was also joined by new members of the Board of Trade, including Mike Soutar, Apprentice star and entrepreneur, Allison Kirkby, BT Group CEO, and Michelle Ovens CBE, the Founder of Small Business Britain.
We first visited Shoreham Banking Hub, followed by independent businesses including Slipped Discs with Chanctonbury Wines, the Neighbourhood Store, and we even got the chance to sample some delicious wine in Palate.
It was a great opportunity to put Shoreham businesses on the map and show the Business Secretary how much our community values the retailers on our high street.
A huge thank you to all the local businesses for hosting us!
