It was a great opportunity to talk to other small business owners from all across the country who are all facing similar issues to myself. In particular, it was interesting to talk to the Minister for Energy, who gave me an insight into her work, upcoming plans and support. Another restaurateur agreed that hospitality needed support if we intend to survive and grow our businesses over the next year. Thank you to Maria Caulfield MP for the invitation to join her at this event.”
Tom and his team are passionate about food and their emphasis is very much on quality dining based on classic pub staples with some more adventurous offerings. They want to maintain the “country inn” atmosphere of their pubs.
Maria Caulfield MP said: “I was very pleased to be joined by Tom Stovold, a young local business champion in my constituency, to attend the reception at No 10. It is so crucial local business owners, like Tom, have the recognition they deserve and voice to us how we can help them. They are vital for our economy, our day to day lives, and our communities.
“Pubs like the ones Tom owns bring communities together and employ local individuals which is so important for the local economy. Thank you to Tom and all the local business owners for your continued hard work.”
