SMEs Forge Ahead

A lesser known fact about our County are the many businesses engaged in the motor sport industry and the skilled petrolheads combining their passion with their job. One such business, visited last week by Stephen Phillips MP, is run by Guy Croft and his wife Natalya on Whisby Road in North Hykeham. Guy – previously a UKIP parliamentary candidate – and Natalya specialise in building and refurbishing Fiat and Lancia racing engines, a field in which they are world leaders. With SMEs being asked by the Government to help lead the way out of our economic difficulties, Stephen was happy to learn first-hand the suggestions which those at the sharp end like Guy and Natalya have to encourage economic growth. Commenting after his visit, Stephen said, "Guy and Natalya are precisely the people the business friendly measures announced in last week's budget are designed to help. As the Chancellor said, we need to ensure that we rebalance our economy with manufacturing playing a major role. Guy has given me some pointers as to how the Government can assist further and I am really grateful to him and Natalya for giving me their time."
