I have taken the opportunity afforded by the start of the Whitsun recess this week to visit a couple more businesses in Bury. I have been to Flynn Construction and Wallwork Heat Treatment.

Flynn Construction only moved to Bury four years ago but they now employ over 100 people most of them local and it was great to meet the dynamic young entrepreneur Mike Flynn who runs the Company.

Wallwork have been based in Bury for many years and again they provide much need valuable local jobs in the private sector. It is vital for our economy in Bury that companies such as Flynn and Wallwork are encouraged and able to flourish. I was able to find out at first hand what the problems are facing these companies and the effect of Government policies on the sectors they operate in.
