Top wins
Fuelled investment and growth
We unlocked new investment opportunities, with a boost in public capital spending designed to attract private investment in essential infrastructure and net zero projects. This change empowers businesses to grow, while supporting sustainability goals.
Secured a stable tax landscape
To bring stability and encourage investment, the government introduced a new Corporate Tax Roadmap, capping Corporation Tax rates and preserving generous investment reliefs. This clearer tax path enables businesses to plan with confidence and drive long-term growth.
Championed skilled workforce funding
We advocated for new funding to transform the Apprenticeship Levy into a more flexible Growth and Skills Levy, making it easier for businesses to upskill their workforce and meet future needs.
Increased support to attract and retain top talent
We secured long-term funding for childcare providers, enabling working parents to stay in the workforce and helping businesses attract skilled professionals. This boost supports both families and the companies that rely on them.
Streamlined planning for growth
The government committed to overhaul the UK planning system, ensuring businesses can navigate planning processes more efficiently. This will lead to faster growth, allowing companies to seize new opportunities and expand with ease.
