Every defibrillator installed in our communities has the potential to save a life. I’m incredibly proud that North West Leicestershire has seen a strong increase in defibrillators over the past year.
The Defib Dash campaign showed what can be achieved when residents, volunteers, local organisations and emergency services work together.
Following my recent meeting with the British Heart Foundation to review the campaign and its results, it’s clear we’ve made real progress, but we’re not stopping here.
I will continue working with partners to identify and address remaining gaps, ensure devices are registered and accessible, and make sure as many people as possible know where their nearest defibrillator is, and how to use it.

I was pleased to stop by Premtech this morning, one of the UK’s leading engineering design consultancies, a key part of the National Gas organisation, and based in Ashby! ⚡️
During the visit, I saw first‑hand the expertise and skills of the Premtech team and the part they play in our energy security and our transition to clean energy.
Premtech plays a vital role in planning and designing the pipelines that keep energy flowing safely and reliably across the country. From supporting our National Transmission System to helping repurpose infrastructure for hydrogen and carbon capture and storage, its work is central to the UK’s energy system both today and in the future.
Thank you for inviting me to visit and for the opportunity to meet the Premtech team!
