The membership of the new Small Business Council has been unveiled ahead of its first meeting, as the Government reaffirms its commitment to the UK’s 5.6 million SMEs. Chaired by Small Business Minister, Kevin Hollinrake, the Council will work alongside the PM’s Business Council to tackle the key issues facing small firms who will be given new levels of access direct to government.

Almost every billion-pound company, tech giant or multinational corporation started off as small business, which is why this Council has been formed, to help support and nurture the next generation of small firms to thrive and grow.
