“Our Shadow Treasury work on sustainability and the radical transformations required to decarbonise, have shown quite clearly the key role small businesses will play in this process. Agile, adaptable, innovative – they are perfectly placed to capitalise on the economic opportunities these critically important changes to our economy will require. Whether utilising the ‘Preston model’ of harnessing local services and businesses, or the use of our National Investment Bank to support innovation and jobs, Labour is putting small business at the front and centre of its economic approach.”
