Autumn Budget Response 2024

Following the Chancellor’s Autumn Budget on 30th October 2024, East Midlands Chamber conducted a snap survey of businesses based in the East Midlands.

The survey highlights the specific impact of the Budget on business sentiment, growth projections, and overall confidence.

Chamber AGM - 9 December

The Chamber's AGM will take place on 9 December at Toyota, Derby.

Chamber President Stuart Dawkins will reflect on his time as President and the changes that have happened during that time.

We will also hear from some of our Business Awards winners and there will be plenty of time for networking before the event.

A Manifesto for Growth 2024

At the core of the Chamber’s lobbying activity, and directly influenced by our engagement with members, is our blueprint for economic growth, titled A Manifesto for Growth 2024.

The seven-page document, which was launched during a special reception at Westminster, sets out a series of national policies that would support businesses like those in our region to succeed and grow the national economy.
