Great turnout at our NI reception at The Labour Party Conference in Liverpool hosted in partnership with Retail NI and NICVA.
Our thanks to our speakers, Secretary of State for NI Hilary Benn , Fleur Anderson and Tonia Antoniazzi MP.
Our CEO, Michael Henderson, highlighted the importance of safeguarding and providing a platform for growth to all small businesses in Northern Ireland. As SME's make up 89% of businesses in Northern Ireland and are the heartbeat of our communities, it is essential that these businesses be prioritised by the UK government.
During the conference, Michael also had a brief conversation with Mary Lou McDonald - Sinn Féin on the fantastic innovation and opportunities of growth within the food-to-go industry in Northern Ireland and the importance of an food-to-go all-party group to safeguard our businesses.
