Prime Minister visits North Warwickshire company

Prime Minister David Cameron was given a business ‘wish-list’ during his election campaign visit to North Warwickshire.

The Prime Minister paid a visit to Coleshill-based Sertec ahead of the General Election on May 7 and was met by business leaders from across the region.

Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce president Peter Burns, former president Amrik Bhabra and partnership and policy manager Angela Tellyn were in the audience and met Mr Cameron after his speech.

They handed him the British Chambers of Commerce Business Plan for Britain, which has been produced as a ‘manifesto’ for business in the run up to polling day.

Angela said: “It was a great opportunity to hear from David Cameron ahead of the election but we also wanted to get the opportunity to get across what businesses want from the next Government.

“We hand-delivered the BCC’s Business Plan for Britain to Mr Cameron but also got the chance to have a brief chat with him before the event came to a close.”

She added: “The Chamber is not a party political organisation but one that stands up for businesses across all sectors and of all sizes.

“From our point of view, the most important thing the next Government can deliver is clear, business friendly policies that set the right conditions for companies across Coventry and Warwickshire to expand and create more jobs.”
