Responding to the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Conference speech, John Dickie, Chief Executive at BusinessLDN, said:
“Employers will welcome the Prime Minister’s intention to make economic stability and growth the Government’s first priority, working ‘hand in hand with business’.
“Change can only really begin across the UK with a huge increase in private investment. For that to happen, companies need visibility and input on next steps around new employment legislation, planning reform, infrastructure investment, skills initiatives and devolution to major cities.
“Next month’s International Investment Summit and Budget mark crucial opportunities to send a crystal-clear message that the UK is open for business.”
