Supporting Small Business in Bradfield

Bradfield is home to a diverse, dynamic business community - from tech start-ups and family-run cafes to specialists in education, health, energy, finance, media and beyond. 

When small businesses thrive, our whole community benefits. As your Independent MP for Bradfield, I’m here to help cut through the noise. That’s why my team and I are here to:

  • Connect you with services to help grow your business
  • Help you find, apply for and access grants
  • Share practical tools to protect against cyber threats and scams

We’re here to make things easier - and we’re only ever an email or call away.
