Business roundtable with Oldham and Saddleworth MP Debbie Abrahams

The FS event takes place at the E3 – Earl Business Centre on Dowry Street in Oldham

The Federation of Small Businesses' Greater Manchester team have organised a business surgery with Debbie Abrahams, the MP for Oldham East and Saddleworth.

Any business owner who would like to raise a business-related issue with the MP, or has a local constituency problem they would like her help with, or who just want to meet their MP, the event is on Friday, May 19, at 12 noon for one hour.

It takes place at the E3 – Earl Business Centre on Dowry Street in Oldham.

Anne Lambelin, FSB Area Leader for Greater Manchester, said: “MPs can often seem far removed from the towns and constituencies they serve, so it’s great Debbie has given us some time to help local businesses engage with her.

“This is a great time to be speaking with MPs with a General Election on the horizon.

"So, if you’ve got a beef with your business rates, VAT thresholds are driving you potty, or any other issue affecting your business, make the most of this event and come along and tell her.

"If you can’t make it on the day you can always send us a question which we can ask on your behalf."
