Not even the snow could stop our East Midlands Councilors and Future Leaders attending meetings yesterday at DCG (Derby College Group). Thank you to all those that braved the weather and to DCG for hosting at your incredible Roundhouse facility. Truly stunning, steeped in history and the oldest roundhouse in the world from the mid-1800s. There was a lot to discuss, particularly how the budget will affect business, the overall economic impact and the importance of stability for business. The National Insurance Contribution rises proved a talking point, with businesses concerned about the impact the decision will have on investment and hiring plans.

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome representatives from the UK Mayors Group and member firms at our Mayoral roundtable discussion – kindly hosted by JLL and co-chaired by Rain Newton-Smith and Dr Hannah White OBE. An engaging, passionate and thought-provoking discussion on UK regions as a driver of domestic and inward investment, as well as their role within in modern UK Industrial Strategy. Businesses and regional representatives also spoke about how collaboration and partnership can help drive forward a shared set of priorities to help boost growth across the UK. When politicians, public and private sectors collaborate, each region can unlock its full potential. We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with the UK Mayors Group and business.

Perfect weather for ‘blue sky thinking’ after CBI (Confederation of British Industry) South-East and Thames Valley members joined our Chair Rupert Soames on a fact-finding trip to London Gatwick. Among the topics under discussion was Gatwick’s proposed Northern Runway project. If approved, the project will be one of the region’s largest capital investment projects in decades and is expected to create up to 14,000 jobs and pump £1billion into the local economy every year once open by 2030. Businesses from a range of sectors also took the opportunity of being together at a key regional hub at the airport, to spark discussion on critical issues including regulation, infrastructure and industrial strategy. Thanks London Gatwick for making the visit a success!
Thank you to our CBI (Confederation of British Industry) and CBI Midlands members who have shared their insights and provided evidence base case studies to make this happen 👏

This is a huge win for business, and we’re calling for swift implementation to ensure firms can make the most of these changes. 💼Want to know more about the changes we’re pushing for in the upcoming Budget?
