A1 Flues hosts Brexit backers
A1 Flue Systems in Ollerton hosted the Right Hon Theresa Villiers MP and fellow business Brexit backers this week, urging supporters to “take back control of jobs, borders and trade deals” in the EU Referendum tomorrow (23 June).
Based on Boughton Industrial Estate A1 Flue Systems, hosted a group from Business for Britain, who met Theresa Villiers MP and took a tour of the factory together with A1 Flue Systems director TJ Duncan-Moir.
The MP met members of staff from the firm which employs 140 people locally and is a market leader in the design, manufacture and installation of commercial and industrial chimney, flue and exhaust systems.
Duncan-Moir said she was fully behind the campaign to extract businesses from EU bureaucracy: “It was a pleasure to host the event because it gave us an opportunity to show Theresa Villiers MP and fellow businesses in favour of leaving the EU why we are so proud our British manufacturing prowess – which is at least a decade ahead of the standards set by the EU.”
Theresa Villiers MP, said: “I am supporting the Leave campaign because I have an optimistic view of our country’s future. I believe we can flourish outside the European Union. We have one of the most successful economies in the world.
“In the six years I spent as an MEP, I worked relentlessly to try to get the best from the EU. That included a two year struggle on the technical detail of the Markets in Financial Instruments directive and other initiatives designed to open up cross border trade in capital and financial services.
“I am not, for a moment, suggesting that we should not cooperate with our European neighbours. But it is possible to do this without taking on the obligations of EU membership which prevent us from taking decisions which are in our own national interest. Leaving the EU would also give us the chance to negotiate our own trade deals with countries around the world such as India, something currently vested directly in the European Commission.”
Business for Britain is a campaign run by businesses and aims to give a voice to the business community on the EU referendum.
