SMALL industrial businesses have no hope unless the States does more to find them suitable sites, according to the owner of one company on the brink of closure.

Tony Le Flock, who has co-owned F&B Blasters for the last eight years, will have to close the business at the end of the month because his temporary lease at Leale’s Yard expires and there are no other premises available.

He has had to give two staff notice and his son will also lose his job. ‘We’re just the first in line – there are going to be others. Commerce and Employment is just not interested in helping us and at the drop of a hat my business, which has been my life, will be forced to fold,’ said Mr Le Flock, 47.
