Issue 27

With the recent Spring Budget being more of an opportunity to heckle the opposition than deliver anything more than was predicted, we welcomed the opportunity to watch things unfold live with fellow business leaders at our event at Kingsholm Stadium, and we share our summary and insights with photos in this issue. Every day we anticipate change, be it the expectation of a general election or technological advancements such as AI evolving at a rapid pace, so it felt reassuring to bring back this annual event, proving that sometimes the old ways are the best! Whether it’s understanding what could trigger a tax investigation, reducing your admin time so you can focus on your business, struggling with the cohesion of your team or striving to become a gold medal winning business, we have a feature that will offer useful advice and how we can help. As always, we celebrate our people and our community, with our Winners’ Dinner for those who won at the very last GloucestershireLive Business Awards, introduce Teckels as our new charity, show our support for the No Child Left Behind awards and the Armed Forces, and much more.
