Kitchen retailers are among 5,025 small business owners in the UK who have backed the Conservatives in an open letter sent to The Daily Telegraph.
The letter states that David Cameron is 'genuinely committed to making sure Britain is open for business'. It goes on to say that the Tories have 'managed to get the economy moving again by tackling the deficit, helping to keep interest rates low and inflation down' and that small businesses have been 'helped by their steps to lower taxes, reduce red tape, simplify employment law and get the banks lending'.
Orchestrated by The Apprentice star and the Conservatives' small business ambassador Karren Brady, the letter warns that a 'change now would be far too risky and would undo all the good work of the last five years'.
The Guardian reports that the letter includes the signatories of 32 business leaders who have donated more than £9m to the Conservatives.
