Prime Minister David Cameron is praising our Local Business Accelerators campaign
DAVID Cameron has offered his congratulations to the three finalists in our Local Business Accelerators contest.
John Fowkes Architects, based in Long Clawson, Fred’s Clothing of Sherrard Street, Melton, and Caf Caf in The Mall, Nottingham Street, Melton, will now benefit from three months free mentoring and advertising.
Nationally nearly 3,097 businesses applied to take part in the Newspaper Society initiative which is being supported by local papers up and down the country in a bid to help get the economy moving and growing again.
In his message of support the Prime Minister highlighted the role of the local newspaper industry in supporting British business. Mr Cameron said: “Congratulations to all the finalists in the Local Business Accelerators scheme. It’s brilliant that so many promising young companies, from such a wide range of sectors, are benefitting from this excellent initiative.
“Entrepreneurship, creativity and ambition are essential for our economic recovery and through Local Business Accelerators, newspapers such as the Melton Times are supporting some great new British businesses to grow, and helping to boost their local economy.
“I wish the newspapers, businesses and their mentors every success over the coming months.”
John Fowkes Architects specialises in church work and converting or refurbishing country houses and listed buildings and has just been appointed to help turn the Fox Inn in Leicester Street, Melton, into almhouses.
The three will be invited to attend the Melton Times Business Awards at Pera on March 22 when one of them will be delared our overall Local Business Accelerators winner.
