Stockton MP pledges support to small businesses

A local MP has pledged his support to small businesses with a visit to a top technology firm in the region.

Stockton South MP Dr Paul Williams visited Preston Farm-based Odyssey Systems where he was given a tour of the facilities.

Elected as the MP for Stockton South at last year’s General Election, Dr Williams is keen to build relationships with the small business community.

“Small and medium sized businesses across Stockton South underpin our economy and supply the majority of local jobs,” he said.

“I am so proud when I visit businesses such as Odyssey who are representing our area and through innovation are not only supporting other local businesses but really making a mark on their industry and collaborating with and helping other local companies.

“Teesside really benefits when businesses in our area work together and keep their spending local.

“Meeting the Staff at Odyssey was a pleasure and I could see first-hand the passion they have for their work and the professionalism which has seen Odyssey win numerous awards.”

Established in 1987, Odyssey Systems supplies services including business telephone systems, business lines and calls, internet and domain names, and web hosting to more than 2,500 firms.

Christine Gilbert, director of Odyssey Systems, added: “It was good to meet with Dr Williams after a positive, initial conversation at the Tees Valley Business Summit. We were keen to show him how we provide customer delight and supporting business of all sizes across Stockton and the tees valley with their technology needs.

“We are fully behind Dr Williams’ pledge of supporting local businesses operating within our area, and look forward to meeting with him again in the future.”
