As a director of a family firm with more than 40 years heritage, Tracey was keen to hear of improvements and investment for SMEs and personal development.  “There were a couple of really positive announcements,” says Tracey, speaking after the event from Howells’ head office in Cradley Heath.  “The savings on business rates will be helpful for those similar to ourselves, as will the discount on the training levy.  We are invested into upskilling our staff and this will help with the next round that we undertake.  There was also a concerted effort to help micro businesses become digital.”
