"Battle lines have been drawn on issues like Brexit but for start-ups whats most important is issues such as investment, support and funding so today's result will be interesting."

A group of Greater Manchester business men and women have given their thoughts and opinions on the upcoming election.
Following a panel debate on how scaling a business up can present challenges, which took place at Accelerate Places launch event, entrepreneurs and business people shared their views on the 2017 General Election and gave insight on how the different manifestos from Party leaders would influence the way in which they decide to place their vote this coming Thursday.
Patricia Keating, Lead TechManchester Project at UK Fast said: “Battle lines have been drawn on issues like Brexit but for start-ups what’s most important is issues such as investment, support and funding so today’s result will be interesting.”
