As the GBCC flagship economic publication, the Quarterly Business Report is the most comprehensive regular report of its kind in the city-region.
Underpinning the report is data gathered from quarterly surveys completed by businesses from across the Greater Birmingham area.
The Quarterly Business Report event is delivered in partnership with Chamber patron Birmingham City University.
Delegates in attendance will have the opportunity to receive a copy of the report and watch a detailed presentation of the results and wider trends, followed by an expert panel discussion on investments trends.
GBCC head of policy Emily Stubbs, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Pam Sheemar as the first speaker for the launch of our latest Quarterly Business Report.
“Her extensive experience supporting businesses at different stages of their growth, combined with her insight into the challenges and opportunities facing entrepreneurs, will add valuable context to the findings of this quarter’s report.
“The Quarterly Business Report provides an important snapshot of business confidence and conditions across our region, but the numbers only tell part of the story.
“Bringing together the data with perspectives from experienced business leaders allows us to explore what these trends mean in practice and how businesses are responding to the changing economic landscape.
“We look forward to sharing the latest findings with our members and guests and hearing from Pam and our wider panel on the investment trends that will shape the region’s growth.”
The event is free to attend. Visit the website for more information.
