Robert said, "I recently met with excellent local family business Johnstone Safety Products, based in the hamlet of Worsham, near Minster Lovell. With strong ties to West Oxfordshire, where the company has been based since it was started 50 years ago, JSP are now a leading manufacturer for personal protective equipment, exporting to over 100 countries. So widespread are their products that I even found myself next to a gentleman holding one of their hardhats on the tube this week – made here in West Oxfordshire!
"Since becoming your MP, I have met with over 100 local businesses and charities in West Oxfordshire, and JSP are a great example of a company who, by investing in modern technology, have been able to move their manufacturing back to West Oxfordshire, directly benefitting the local economy. As Chair of the APPG for Small and Micro Businesses, it is exciting to see how modern technology is removing the need for outsourcing and is something that is of great interest to the group."
