Shailesh Vara, Member of Parliament for North West Cambridgeshire, recently visited Sticky Fingers, a new sweet shop in The Darling Mews area of Ramsey.

Sticky Fingers is owned by Mr Geoff Cannon, who first started as a market trader on the Great Whyte in Ramsey selling a range of end of line items. However, more recently, with the encouragement of the Ramsey Initiative, he has taken up a retail unit selling sweets and treats.

Mr Vara said: -

“In difficult times it is always a pleasure to see new businesses starting up and meeting with success. Mr Cannon is a truly positive story for Ramsey and I really do wish him well in his new venture. I was particularly impressed with his wide variety of confectionary and in the short time I was in the shop, it was good to see a steady stream of customers.”

Geoff Cannon, proprietor of Sticky Fingers said:

“ I would like to thank The Ramsey Initiative for all the guidance, help and support I received from them whilst planning and opening my new shop, Sticky Fingers, in the Darling Mews. Without their support I would not have been able to accomplish what I have achieved so far. My advice to anyone who has an idea about starting a business in Ramsey is that their first port of call should be to The Ramsey Initiative.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the whole community of Ramsey for their support and custom since I opened up and to add keep watching my little shop as I have some very exciting things planned for 2013 including a new range of fresh whipped ice cream.”
