This week Rachel visited a printing business in Leeds West. Target Print boss Peter Biggins gave Rachel a tour of his business, which prides itself on employing and training local people, and building strong relationships in the local community.

Rachel said: 'I was impressed by the ethos of the business, and it's roots in our community. Target Print train an apprentice every year, and choose young people from our area. This is a fantastic thing for a local business to do - especially in light of the recent demand for university places and competition for employment. Small businesses are the backbone of the local economy and are vital to the economic recovery.'

'I am spending time in the parliamentary recess in Leeds West, and the chance to meet local employers, workers and charity groups is very enjoyable. It is great to build on local perspectives of the current economic climate when I hold meetings and speak in Parliament.'
