Conservative Party to Host St. Albans Business Summit

St. Albans MP, Anne Main, will next month host a St. Albans Business Summit alongside Shadow Business

Secretary Ken Clarke. The event is aimed at hearing about the challenges facing local businesses.

This is the second year for the event, which last year saw more than 40 representatives of local businesses gather

together to discuss the impact of the recession on the City and

District.

Anne Main said, "My 2009 St Albans business summit was a really valuable exercise, and

when I told Ken about it he was very keen to come along to the next one

and meet local business people to get the best possible picture of the

situation for businesses in St Albans.

I hope that with Ken's input this summit will be even more productive

than the last one. One year on from the last summit, I felt it was

particularly important to take stock of the situation in our area, and

give local businesses a chance to air their concerns and find out what

they could expect from the leader of our Shadow Business team.

Ken has decades of experience in dealing with economic issues, and I

hope his presence at this summit will be a constructive force for local

businesses. We still face a great deal of uncertainty, and that is why

we all need to ensure we are all working together for the good of our

city and the country as a whole."
