It was fantastic to have the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, The Rt Hon Mel Stride MP, join me in Stroud to meet with the team at the Jobcentre as well as several local businesses.
I was chuffed to have Minister Norman come to Stonehouse to visit the brilliant BorgWarner team who deliver innovative and sustainable mobility solutions for the vehicle market.
As part of my recently launched Ambitions series, I have been interviewing local people to showcase all the weird, wonderful and more traditional career opportunities that can be found across Stroud, the Valleys and Vale.
I believe young people should know about as many jobs as possible before they choose educational course and careers. Many parents have also told me they find it a shame that there is limited work experience and few part time Saturday jobs available.
Great to visit ADEY Innovation which is a brilliant business working to create water treatment solutions to protect heating systems from inefficiency and breakdowns.
