I am passionate about supporting small local businesses in the Hexham constituency, and it was a pleasure to be able to welcome David and Carolyn Ridley of Ridley's Fish and Game in Acomb to Westminster recently. Ridley's was named as the winner of my 2018 Tynedale and Ponteland Small Business Awards after being nominated by its customers. It is so important that we all support the small businesses in our local communities, and with Christmas nearly here, now is the perfect time to do so. Congratulations again to David and Carolyn and everyone at Ridley's- well deserved winners!
