David Nieper was in the news today in dialogue with Alan Johnson MP about the best deal for British business in, or out of the EU.

“David Nieper welcomed Alan Johnson’s visit today.  More MP’s should follow his example and get out to ask British businesses what they think. Airing opinions is what democracy is all about and the UK needs much more public dialogue about the forthcoming referendum on the EU to fully understand  the issues.”
