At a critical time for London’s economy, BusinessLDN will be welcoming the Bank of England’s London Agency team for an insights briefing on the economic conditions and outlook of Greater London. For the first of these, we will be joined by Lai Wah Co, Deputy London Agent at the Bank, who will share an update on what she is hearing from businesses across the Capital, her insights and predictions for the economy and the Bank’s strategy. She will also be welcoming questions and contributions. Please note that this event is rescheduled from 22 September.

This informal and interactive session will be an opportunity to gather insights and intelligence from our experts around issues on your agenda. For the second of this series, we’ll be focusing on the Place Commission, our new sustainability workstream and our recent appointment to lead London’s employer-led skills body.

Making sure everyone has access to high-quality careers advice is vital to attracting diverse talent, driving your employee pipelines, and building a sustainable future for businesses. This session will explore how we can create a world-leading service in London, and how employers can get involved.

This small Roundtable Dinner will bring together key parts of the build to rent industry to discuss the current challenges facing the sector. As development in the regions continues to outstrip that of the capital, what can the industry do to redress this balance and what will the impact be of Government’s new proposals to reform the private rented sector on Build to Rent development in London?

Join us for the launch of a new BusinessLDN report, in partnership with CBRE, which considers the role of private investment in affordable housing in the capital. The report looks at how such investment can be harnessed to increase housebuilding, deliver social good and the steps that should be taken to secure more of this investment in London. We will be joined by Tom Copley, Deputy Mayor for Housing and Residential Development at the GLA who will respond to the report, setting out his views on the topic.
