Many people live in Horsham and work further afield but it is vital that Horsham remains a thriving economic centre in its own right, as it has been for hundreds of years.
We are lucky to have a thriving High Street in Horsham Town Centre as well as a diverse range of businesses – from flourishing local drinks producers to significant manufacturing and service companies – based in the surrounding villages. I regularly meet with local business owners to discuss their future plans and the impact they are having on the local and national economy.
I often attend employment events and I am always keen to discuss the benefits of different employment options, such as apprenticeships and graduate schemes. I routinely visit the team at the Job Centre Plus to find out how they are supporting people in their journey into employment.
I am fully aware of the importance a strong local economy has on the local community and I will continue to support local businesses in the area.
