Local MP at Forcefield

Local MP at Forcefield Davies Odell, the Rushden, Northants manufacturers and distributors of Forcefield body armour, were visited recently by local Tory MP Peter Bone, who was accompanied by Jack Spriggs, Councillor for Rushden Hayden Ward, and the youngest councillor in the country! Bone, the MP for Wellingborough and Rushden, whose bid last month to re-brand August Bank Holiday as Margaret Thatcher Day, ran out of parliamentary debating time, was invited for a tour of the Rushden site which employs a large number of local workers to talk about problems surrounding SME’s as well as how powered two wheelers should be better represented in local and national transport policy. Afterwards, the MP tweeted: “Just visited Davies Odell. Fantastic local company. They produce first-class body armour. Could use it in Westminster!” Davies Odell MD, Andy Gregory, said: “It was useful to meet our local MP. As well as employing many of Mr Bone’s constituents, we are exporting to over 40 countries.”
