DEFA removing 'obstacles to growth'

Food Matters strategy said to be progressing well

Environment, food and agriculture bosses say they're doing all they can to help expand local businesses.

The Food Matters Strategy - launched in November last year - sets out to grow the food and drink sector by £50million by 2025.

Andrew Lees has been in his role of Food Business Development Manager for just over a year.

He believes progress is being made and hopes the good work continues into 2017.
