James Wharton MP

I joined Greg Clark MP, Shadow Minister for Teesside, for lunch with the Tees Engineering Alliance.  This group, which aims to promote and support businesses across the engineering sector in the area, is likely to be a key player in local industry over the coming years.  I have been involved with the TEA for some time, dating back to when it was originally called the Tees Valley Engineering Partnership (TVEP).   The lunch was a great opportunity to hear about some of the challenges and successes being faced by local business as well as wide ranging discussion about what future Conservative policy should be in order to best support local engineering in the Tees Valley.
