East Hampshire MP Damian Hinds visited 350 Burger at The Shed to address the concerns raised by 4U2U Group management regarding the changes in VAT.

The 4U2U group now employs more than 52 local residents and has plans for expansion locally and further afield, but fears recent changes to VAT rates, rising fuel costs and supply chain issues may thwart this growth.

“At 4U2U we’re dedicated to delivering jobs and employment opportunities in any community we operate,” said managing director and founder Dayne Cartwright.

“We’ve invested a lot into growing our business in Bordon, helping build a vibrant and successful local economy.

“It’s important that government continues listening to businesses of all sizes, in all industries and continues to support thriving economies like Whitehill & Bordon.”

Mr Hinds assured the 4U2U Group team of his commitment to the local economy, both in Whitehill & Bordon and across the region.
