The MP was delighted to invite to the event Janet Maitland, a successful Durham businesswoman, as guest of honour. Roberta and Janet met with guests from all over the country who have all played an outstanding role in their local communities.

The guests included: community champions, journalists, businesswomen, women from the arts, sportswomen as well as MPs, Peers, and Councillors. Roberta gave particular praise to Janet for her investment of the young people of Durham through her training academy in Gilesgate.

"I was delighted to invite Janet to Parliament to honour her work as an outstanding businesswoman in Durham.
