Last week I visited industry leading specialist Penny Hydraulics Ltd , a major business in the heart of Clowne. I have met the owners a number of times previously - last year they were awarded a Royal Warrant of Appointment for supplying chandelier and baggage lifting systems to The Royal Households - and I was keen to see the work they do first hand. The company started as a small family firm and have now grown to employ over 80 people and operate in 22 countries, offering great opprtunities for skills based learning and apprenticeships. Family businesses are at the beating heart of our local economy, and I am very proud to have amazing businesses such as Penny Hydraulics Ltd in the Bolsover Constituency. My thanks to Robin Penny for the tour.
