Description
Get Closer to What Businesses in South Yorkshire Are Really Saying
The Quarterly Economic Survey (QES) Stakeholder Webinars offer a quick, clear and honest look at how businesses across South Yorkshire are feeling — and what that means for the decisions we make next.
This quarter’s hot topic is business growth and international trade. You’ll hear from two business leaders who will reflect on the urgent issues raised. John Patrick Mee, Director at Vac-Ex Ltd, a manufacturer of compact vacuum excavation equipment and safe digging tools, and So Him Fong, Director of King Asia Foods, a family-run company known for its authentic Chinese and Asian products.
Why This Matters
Every three months, the South Yorkshire Chambers (Doncaster, Sheffield, Barnsley & Rotherham) ask hundreds of businesses about the current economic climate.
This data is shared directly with national policymakers, including the Treasury, Bank of England and the Office for Budget Responsibility. In short: it shapes what happens next.
What the Webinar Covers
Led by Doncaster Chamber’s Chief Executive Dan Fell, the session breaks down the latest QES findings and opens the floor for honest discussion about what’s working, what’s not, and where the pressure points are.
This webinar is the easy way to digest a lot of business insight data in one go.
This is a space for public sector leaders, local authorities, and anyone involved in shaping the region to hear directly from the business community and to discuss what we need to prioritise to build a stronger, fairer economy for South Yorkshire.
You'll come away with a better understanding of:
-
What local firms are saying right now
-
What’s changed since last quarter
-
What needs to happen next
