MP works in local hairdresser
Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews visited a local hairdresser on August 27, as part of the NSW Business Chamber's annual Pollies for Small Business program.
Ms Andrews said the program was a great way of supporting the local small business community.
"The experience gives me the opportunity to spend valuable time seeing the workings of a local business and allows the owners to discuss any State Government issues impacting on them," Ms Andrews said.
Ms Andrews has previously worked at a number of small businesses for the program including a cafe in Gosford and a cut flower business at Peats Ridge.
NSW Business Chamber Central Coast regional manager Ms Mary Doherty said with much of the focus often on the big picture issues, some politicians can at times lose sight of the concerns of small business.
"This is a great program. It helps businesspeople and MPs understand one another better and we should encourage and support any measures that can help achieve that."
