Nicholas Soames, Member of Parliament for Mid Sussex, visited Rachel Watkyn of the Tiny Box Company, on Friday, to celebrate the company’s second anniversary.

Mr Soames said; “I was so pleased to meet Rachel Watkyn at her tremendously successful business in Horsted Keynes. It is great to have a Dragons’ Den winner in Mid Sussex. Let’s have lots more!

“Given the challenging economic climate that we live in I am heartened to see an entrepreneur of her skills thriving in Mid Sussex.”

The Tiny Box Company received the backing of Peter Jones from the Dragons’ Den. The Company, which is based on the Horsted Keynes Industrial Estate, specialises in recycled and eco-friendly packaging which themselves are recyclable. Rachel Watkyn took Mr Soames on a tour around the warehouse to see the wide range of goods on offer from jewellery boxes to gift boxes and carrier bags.
