| FAMILY FIRM: Business Secretary Greg Clark (left) and Mayoral candidate Andy Street visit TEAL Patents, Chelmsley Wood. |
BUSINESS Secretary Greg Clark paid a visit to Chelmsley Wood today.
The cabinet minister was joined on a whistle-stop tour of the estate by Meriden MP Caroline Spelman and Andy Street, the Conservative candidate for West Midlands Mayor.
The visit gave Mr Clark - who was handed one of the most high-profile ministerial roles last summer - the opportunity to see the results of the area's Regeneration programme.
He also dropped in at TEAL Patents, a firm which is based in Waterloo Avenue and specialises in making portable sinks and basins. Mr Clark said the 58-year-old business was "leading the way" in terms of product development.
Manty Shanley, the company's managing director, said: "It was great to be able to show someone as influential as the Business Secretary what our company is all about and discuss some of the challenges we face."
Mrs Spelman said she was delighted to accompany her fellow MP around one of her constituency's family-owned enterprises.
"TEAL is an excellent example of how innovative products, designed and manufactured here in the West Midlands, are sought after and exported world over," she said.
