Championing Redditch Entrepreneurs in Parliament

In a Commons debate, I celebrated Rusty’s Collectables—an exciting new independent business on Redditch high street. Run by local entrepreneurs Russell and Amee, the shop has grown from an online venture into a thriving store offering unique Pokémon and Marvel collectables.

I asked the Government how it will help more entrepreneurs turn great ideas into high street success stories. In response, Minister Gareth Thomas confirmed the upcoming small business strategy and increased British Business Bank funding will boost access to finance—supporting more local businesses across Redditch and the Villages to grow and thrive.
