Earlier this month, I spoke at the Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Business and Economic Conference at IXL Events Centre at the Dallas Burston Polo Club. The topic this year was ‘The Local Economy of the Future’. I understand the pressure that all small businesses are currently caused by the 2024 Autumn Budget, but there are still opportunities to be had in Coventry & Warwickshire, which is not only known for its innovation but for its sustainable economic growth, which exists in our local economy.
