Congratulations to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. We're looking forward to working with the new Government to ensure that the small business voice is heard, and that the right actions can be taken to support existing entrepreneurs, and encourage new ones.

A very good - if slightly rainy - visit to Downing Street today, meeting senior Government figures to talk through a range of issues affecting small businesses. We need the sun to shine economically and the UK's 5.5m small firms are the key to achieving growth.
