Although not in attendance, Leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn, sent this message of support:

“SME4 Labour provides small businesses with a way to have their voices heard, which are too often drowned out by larger companies and corporations. I’d like to thank and congratulate my colleagues in the SME4Labour team for their contribution to an economic policy that works for the many, not the few.”

Speaking at the awards, Ibrahim Dogus, Co-Chairman of SME4Labour, said:

“When we win, SMEs and the self-employed will be at the heart of Labour’s programme, because they mean so much to the future prosperity of the country. I am delighted that SME4Labour is playing its part. We have exciting plans for next year, and I hope you will join with us.” (For the full version of the speech, please click here.)
