Andy Gibbs, of Jaks and the Licensed Victuallers says regular meetings between the industry and the government would be very helpful.
Earlier this week, Chris Thomas was appointed as treasury minister following the dismissal of Dr Alex Allinson during a cabinet reshuffle by Chief Minister, Alfred Cannan.
