New FPB chief appointed to fight on for small firms
The FPB represents 25,000 small and medium-sized UK companies.

Having started his career in sales, Orford, formed his own business in 1983 and has been involved in creating and operating several firms.

'Small and medium-sized companies have borne the brunt of over-regulation and excessive taxation in recent years. The FPB's job is to be the co-ordinated voice of our members, and to fight to protect their interests.'
