Stockport businessman Tony
Hughes is helping spearhead a
campaign to promote the
contribution small companies can
make in the economic recovery.

At a meeting in the Houses of
Parliament organised by the Forum
of Private Business, Hughes, who is
MD of Hughes Safety Showers, was
invited to outline his approach to
business to a group of MPs and
business owners.

Hughes shared some of the secrets
that have made his company a
success in emergency safety showers.

He offered advice on surviving the
current difficult trading conditions
and how to make the most of new
opportunities. He emphasised the
important role played by small
companies in Britain and suggested
ways in which many could learn
from his experience.

“Despite the economic downturn,
some small to medium size
businesses are continuing to do well.

I think those of us who have
weathered the storm successfully
have a responsibility to help others
so that we can all play our part in the
recovery.”
His final plea was for ‘a banking
system that will support us in our
endeavours.”
