Business Roundtable: Raising Accessibility With Alison Griffiths MP
Date: 17 June 2025
Location: Millennium Chamber, Littlehampton Town Council
On Monday I was honoured to attend a Business Roundtable discussion hosted by Alison Griffiths MP and Rt Hon Liam Byrne MP. The event was held in the beautiful Millennium Chamber at Littlehampton Town Council.
I used the opportunity to raise urgent concerns about the European Accessibility Act and the lack of awareness currently affecting thousands of UK businesses. With the enforcement date of 28 June fast approaching, most companies remain completely unaware of the legal risk they are facing.
There has been little to no public communication from the government about this legislation, which makes it even more vital to have champions like Alison who genuinely understand the importance of accessibility. I am deeply grateful to her for inviting me to the event and for giving this issue a platform.
It was also a pleasure to stand alongside so many respected local business leaders, including John Donoghue from the Chamber of Commerce, Tina Shaw-Morton from Woods Coaches, and Freya and Dominic Reynolds from Reynolds Furniture and Funeral Services.
We are united in our commitment to build a stronger, more inclusive and sustainable business environment here in West Sussex and beyond.
