Good morning, sir.

All right, good morning, Nick, and thank you for this.

We supply the hospitality industry and we also manufacture personalised giftware.

So a couple of things there, but as a small manufacturer, one of the biggest issues we face are business rates, of course, and energy costs.

Whilst we're a small manufacturer, we are a medium size for our energy pricing and our standing charges have gone through the roof when we last renegotiated.

But on top of all of this...

We had the first budget from the previous Chancellor, Rachel Reeves.

The admin, the form filling and the paperwork, how much of a bugbear is it? How much does it prevent you going out and getting clients and building a business?
