Prime Minister makes special visit to Octink

Although most politicians are firmly focused on June 8, Prime Minister Theresa May recently took time out of her nationwide election campaign to visit display graphics specialist Octink.

The Prime Minister took part in a special round table event, and question and answer session with staff, before being given a tour around the Octink factory.

Will Tyler, chief executive of Octink, comments: “It was an honour to welcome the Prime Minister to our offices in Brentford. Theresa May was very happy to talk to our staff, who were delighted to be given the chance to speak to her about a number of issues, such as Brexit, apprenticeships and the importance of family owned businesses to the economy.”

Mrs May is not the first Prime Minister to visit Octink, as her predecessor, David Cameron, also dropped in on the Brentford-based company when he was leading the UK back in 2011.

Hosting a Prime Minister is a privileged opportunity, so to receive two visits in less than six years is fantastic

Tyler adds: “Hosting a Prime Minister is a privileged opportunity, so to receive two visits in less than six years is fantastic.

“For everyone involved, it was an unforgettable experience. From an Octink perspective, we drew confidence from her commitment to keep the interests of all SMEs firmly on her agenda.”
