The Budget Unpacked: Business Leaders' Breakfast

Practical Budget insights, local economic intelligence, funding expertise and networking. Moore South is delighted to be partnering with Hampshire Chamber of Commerce and Lloyds Bank to host a special Budget Breakfast event, taking place one week after the Chancellor’s Budget announcement. Join us from 8:00am to 10:00am at Novotel Southampton for breakfast, networking and expert insight into the latest Budget measures and what they could mean for your business. Moore South’s tax specialists will provide a practical overview of the key announcements, helping you understand the implications and opportunities arising from the Budget. You will also hear the findings from the latest Owner Managed Business (OMB) Report, based on a survey of more than 500 business owners and senior decision-makers from organisations with turnovers between £1 million and £30 million. Alongside this, Hampshire Chamber of Commerce will share the latest findings from its Quarterly Economic Survey (QES), giving an insight into the experiences, confidence and expectations of businesses across Hampshire. They will explore what local businesses are saying about trading conditions, costs, investment, recruitment and the wider economic outlook, and consider how this compares with the national picture and the issues highlighted in the Budget. We’ll also be joined by Lloyds Bank, who will share insights in a presentation on ‘Funding Business Ambition’. The session will explore funding options and key considerations for businesses looking to invest, grow and achieve their ambitions. The event will bring together three valuable perspectives: the national voice of owner-managed businesses, the local voice of Hampshire’s business community and practical insight into funding and business growth. There will be plenty of opportunity to hear from our experts, ask questions and discuss what the Budget could mean for your organisation.
