Following her visit to the London Distribution Park, part of the Port of Tilbury Treasury Minister Priti Patel visited No10 Dining to meet with Suljit Patel, proprietor.
Suljit has built up a high quality catering business from his premises in Civic square.
Jackie said, “It is great to celebrate business success in Tilbury. Whether it is the London Distribution Park creating one thousand jobs or a small business like No10 Dining, it is great to see that business opportunities are being grasped.
Both Suljit and Priti’s families came to Britain in the 1970s. Suljit now employs a number of people in Tilbury. At a time when immigration is being hotly debated we should also remember the positive benefits of inward migration. The UK has benefited greatly from the entrepreneurialism of the Ugandan Asians.”
