'True state of business' to be revealed at November meeting
The true state of business in the UK will be under the spotlight at Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce’s November meeting.
The guest speaker at the organisation’s latest monthly meeting, is Bank of England Deputy Agent for Yorkshire and the Humber, Paul Mount.
Paul, who lives in South Yorkshire, is one of 12 Regional Agents who regularly engages with business and public sector leaders to understand the environment they face, and to explain the policy stance and work of the Bank.
An experienced economist and financial analyst whose career has spanned the civil service, the National Health Service, management consultancy and investment banking, he joined the Bank of England in 2019.
The event is being held on Monday, November 14, at The Double Tree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel & Spa. Doors open at 5.30pm for open networking with the meeting proper commencing at 6.15pm.
David Simister, Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive, said: “We are delighted to have Paul joining us for our November meeting, when he will give an economic update and speak about the true state of business in the UK.
“With the current state of the economy, many businesses are finding themselves under extreme pressure, and in the last week alone we have sadly learned of the closure of a number of Harrogate restaurants.
“With all the resources of the Bank of England at his fingertips, Paul will tell us exactly what the future holds in store for us.”
Chamber members and first time guests from the local business community are asked to register their attendance in advance on the Chamber website.
