The Quarterly Business Survey (QES) is an established as Britain’s biggest and longest-running private business survey and has provided data since 1989. The survey, a leading indicator, often picks up changes in the economy long before other surveys and official statistics. The survey consistently mirrors trends in official data and remains closely watched by both UK Government and the Bank of England.

Since the Covid-19 crisis , the QES has demonstrated the scale of impact on UK business. The survey has been essential in understanding the short and longer-terms impacts on business of different sectors and sizes.

If you want to understand business conditions now and prospects for the next 12 months then this event is for you.
