Ahead of the Curve – An Economic Update

Join local business leaders at the Crowne Plaza Newcastle – Stephenson Quarter for an economic update from expert economist and strategist Roger Martin-Fagg, you will get the opportunity to meet and network with other local business leaders and will leave with insights to expand your perspectives and improve your judgement – all of which will help you make better decisions.

Vistage members and guests will get the best business advice and briefing available and the information gained in this session will prove invaluable for your businesses in the current economic climate.

Attendees will discover:

The latest figures are discussed and their implications for business planning analysed. The session will also take you into more sophisticated economic thinking to explain the pros and cons of current UK and European Government policy.

– An economic overview of the UK
– An analysis of key industries, related to Vistage members and their teams in attendance
– The trends in interest rates, inflation/deflation, labour cost and energy costs
