Voters in Dorset have been urged to back Brexit at the ballot box to ensure a swift departure from the European Union.
Our managing director Simon Boyd said a strong showing for the Conservative Party was vital in the general election on December 12.
Simon has been campaigning for the past 30 years against bad EU directives and regulations that impact on British business and to retain British Standards, which are seen by many as the finest in the world.
He said: “While there are many important issues at stake in the forthcoming general election by far the most critical at this point in time is Brexit.
“The only way for a swift and successful departure from the EU is for people to support the Conservative candidate in their constituency so we can get this stage of Brexit done by the end of January.
“Then businesses, and their employees, will be able to move on with confidence while the Government begins to focus on future free trade agreements […]
