Local MP Alan Mak has met a group of tradespeople and listened to their views on the challenges they face.
He had a lunchtime catch-up with representatives from a variety of trades in the Havant area.
The meeting was organised in conjunction with Checkatrade, which connects consumers with vetted local tradespeople.
Mr Mak said: "I have always supported small, local businesses and would like to thank our local tradespeople for the important role they play in the community."
