It's always great to be able to support a local business that's starting out or expanding, and I was delighted to join Kelly Leanne Jones from Oopsie Daisy's in her brand new cafe and play area in Loftus.
Not only is it a lovely place to drop in for tea, cake and good company, there's also a great party room upstairs and children can make a bear too!
Already a huge success in Skelton, I can't praise Kelly enough for being brave enough to open Oopsie Daisy's second premises, with all the hard work and risk that comes with it. She now employs 11 people in our area and has done a beautiful job restoring a shop on Loftus High Street which would otherwise be standing empty.
Entrepreneurs like her make our world go round, and providing a climate that's supportive to businesses will always be one of my top priorities as your MP.
