Following the event Mr Vara said:

“It is always a pleasure to welcome new businesses to my constituency. Allison Homes have a track record of over 30 years and with their 200 or so employees in the region, I am sure the number will continue to increase.

I wish the company well in its new headquarters, and I hope that they will continue to support the local community, including with their generous charitable donations.”
