Mr Jones founded the award-winning specialist drinks shop and micro brewery in 2011.

In 2014, a change in licence allowed Mr Jones and his team to host events in the shop itself, increasing its role within the town’s business community.

Ms Botterill said: “I am always keen to bring a slice of Yorkshire to the centre of government, so I was so pleased to invite David to Downing Street.

“Bier Huis is a great community business and real local institution.

“I know David loves our area and has volunteered for many years with the fabulous Visit Ossett.”

“Next year we’ll celebrate 15 years of Bier Huis, which is such a real achievement.”

Wakefield and Rothwell MP Simon Lightwood was accompanied by Claire Sutherley, managing director of We Are Wakefield, a not-for-profit organisation run for the benefit of the city’s businesses.

Ms Sutherley said: “It was a privilege to represent Wakefield businesses at Number 11 Downing Street.

“We Are Wakefield is proud to champion over 200 member organisations, supporting collaboration, growth and resilience across the district.“Being a voice for our businesses — and the challenges they face daily — is a responsibility I take seriously, and it’s encouraging to see their contribution to the local economy recognised at a national level.”

Mr Lightwood added: “We Are Wakefield is valuable to the local economy here – supporting businesses that employ local people and serving our community with pride.

Rachel Reeves, who also serves as the MP for Leeds West and Pudsey, said: “We are a pro-business government, and we know that SMEs are the beating heart of high streets, industrial estates and local economies across the country.”
