Continuing his series of visits to local businesses, David Ruffley MP will be visiting Glasswells World of Furniture in Newmarket Road, Bury St Edmunds on Friday, 13 November to see how local business fares in recession.

David will meet Paul Glasswell and staff in the Bury St Edmunds store.

This follows David's recent visits to Baker Construction in Bury St Edmunds, Barrastone Computing in Stowmarket and 2 Sisters Food Group at Haughley Park.

David said:

'Glasswells is a long established, local family company which prides itself on its reputation for achieving high standards of customer service.

'I have no doubt that Glasswells has risen to the challenges presented by the current economic climate. I look forward to hearing from Paul Glasswell how successful they have been and what their plans are for the future.

'During my recent visits to companies throughout my constituency I have been encouraged to see the ways in which they have all responded to the current economic climate.

'It's great to see local businesses faring well during the recession- it's a great advertisement for investing in Suffolk.'
