Jonathan Reynolds MP met bosses at manufacturing company Sound Leisure, in Cross Gates, on Thursday.

The firm makes hundreds of stylish retro music players, most of which are exported to enthusiasts around the world.

It's exactly the kind of global export business that the government said it wants to back as part of its new trade strategy.

The document, published earlier this week, is the first of its kind since the UK left the EU - and outlines a £5bn boost to British exporters.
