More Information:

This not-to-be missed event comes just two days after the Comprehensive Spending Review is announced. Be the first to hear the Chamber’s reaction and question the Bank of England’s local agent on the impact to the economy. We are also delighted to feature two views on the future of Swindon from the new Interim CEO of Forward Swindon and Councillor Garry Perkins, Swindon Borough Council.

Now that the Coalition government has been in power for nearly six months our guest speakers will also reflect on this and equip you with current thinking and advice.

The forum provides an opportunity to assess the impact of external business factors and how these will affect your organisation. You will have the opportunity to raise concerns directly with the expert speakers.

Attending will be representatives from both major and smaller businesses and there will also be an opportunity for networking.

Speaker Panel:

Geoff Harding, Deputy Agent (South West region), Bank of England
The outlook for the UK economy & inflation

Steve Hughes, Policy Adviser, British Chambers of Commerce
The Government’s Comprehensive Spending Review: Response & implications for business

Cllr Garry Perkins, Deputy Leader, Swindon Borough Council
The outlook for Swindon & inward investment
