South Yorkshire Quarterly Economy Survey Results Webinar: Q3 AI Business Readiness

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 AI Business Readiness.

Why This Matters

Every three months, the South Yorkshire Chambers (Doncaster, Sheffield, Barnsley & Rotherham) ask hundreds of businesses about the current economic climate. The survey isn’t just about broad trends — it digs into the realities behind recruitment struggles, rising costs, infrastructure gaps, and the impact of tech and AI.

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.

The best place to digest a lot of 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
