Beyond the Budget: What’s Next for Small Businesses? is a focused, practical event designed for local owner-managers and entrepreneurs who want to move beyond headlines and understand the real implications of the Chancellor's Budget. Join an expert panel to explore strategic responses, cashflow priorities and growth opportunities that matter to small firms in the months ahead.
Our panel features experienced commentators and practitioners offering actionable advice: Patrick Campbell from the Bank of England, Dr Tim Aker, communications consultant and historian, David Barrington, entrepreneur and university lecturer, and Wendy Tetley, chartered management accountant and ABG’s trusted financial voice. Expect clear analysis, real-world examples and time to ask the questions that matter to your business.
The Active Business Group (ABG) hosts this session at the Cave Hotel & Golf Resort, providing an excellent setting for learning and local networking. Arrive early for a continental breakfast and informal coffee networking before the panel begins, and benefit from structured insight plus the chance to make valuable local connections.
Whether you run a small trading business, professional practice or growing start-up, this event will help you translate budget announcements into practical next steps for financial planning, pricing, recruitment and market strategy. Book your place to gain clarity, sharpen priorities and meet fellow business leaders committed to resilient, sustainable growth.
