nNIGEL Thomas, of Pneumatics Steam Instrumentation Ltd (PSI), Canal Bridge Enterprise Centre, attended the business event with David Cameron.

Mr Thomas said: “I asked him about the manufacturing business and the way as a country we are heading.

“We often hear about apprenticeships but they seem to be ever-diminishing so I asked where are they heading?

“I also asked should we be deciding on niche apprenticeships to enter manufacturing business and honing subjects such as bio-medicine and aerospace.

“In fairness he was very sincere, not to say that the next one from another party wouldn’t be the same.

“However I know he has to satisfy the whole country.

“I’m on the fence at the moment.

“I want to vote because I feel something is going to happen.”
