It was great to have a frank discussion with the Chancellor wherein I laid out the challenges faced by small businesses of North Devon in terms of labour shortages, the housing situation for new jobs created, red-tapeism for export and the assistance needed by small rural-based businesses to compete on an International Stage. He was very understanding and assured his continuing support and further attention to North Devon via the National Levelling up strategy”.

Elaborating further about the meeting, Vikas Mahajan said “It was a proud moment to be able to project our hometown of South Molton to national leaders and to use achievements of Aramis as a way to ask the Chancellor for more resources to be allocated to businesses based in North Devon. He was very impressed by what a North Devon business has achieved and his assurances going forward were very encouraging. I also mentioned to him the help and efforts made by North Devon Council to assist local businesses and it was a pleasure to find him, reaching across party politics lines and appreciating their work too. For me it was a very positive meeting and I hope it will help bring some much needed assistance to businesses based in North Devon”.
