The National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA), the trade body representing commercial vehicle and franchised car retailers across the UK, welcomes the Prime Minister's pledge of commitment to make it easier for small businesses to thrive.

David Cameron has vowed to abolish or amend more than 3,000 rules that impact small businesses.

Sue Robinson NFDA Director, commented “The NFDA is encouraged to hear of the measures which will provide some much needed benefit to our smaller members.

“As small businesses continue to struggle it is imperative that the Government do more to support them. Whilst the measures will cut some costs, the NFDA believe that there is still scope for more to be done.”
