THE Member of Parliament for Clwyd South has been appointed Small Business Ambassador for Wales.

Conservative Party Chairman Amanda Milling MP recently appointed Simon Baynes MP to the role.

In every region of the UK, a Conservative representative has been chosen to champion local firms. And on Small Business Saturday December 5, 12 Conservative MPs were chosen to as voices to represent businesses in their constituencies and help shape crucial government policy.

Mr Baynes said he was honoured and delighted to take on the new role.

He said: "Since being elected in December last year, I’ve tried my very best to champion our small businesses in Clwyd South, and, along with my team, have been supporting many of them through the ongoing pandemic.

"This new role will enable me to better stand up for our local business leaders in Clwyd South and the rest of Wales, and to represent their voices to the UK Government as we rebuild our high streets and local economies post-Covid.”
