The Summer holidays may be over, but things are heating up in both Westminster and at the CBI. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to sign up to the launch event of the 2019 London Business Survey report on 24 September.
While Brexit and a potential General Election loom, we must focus on maintaining London’s reputation as a global city and hub of business. The 2019 LBS provides recommendations for both businesses and policymakers, to ensure we make the most of the capital’s offerings and protect its status a world-leader.
Get Involved: Regional Council Nominations are now open
The London Regional Council sets the strategic policy direction of the CBI in London, ensuring the region prospers. As a councillor you would directly influence and shape the development of CBI policy and campaigns and benefit from building your local network.
