Reacting to the PM’s resignation, Nova Fairbank, CEO of Norfolk Chambers of Commerce, said:
“Following weeks of chaos and uncertainty, the Prime Minister has resigned. Her resignation means the UK now faces even greater uncertainty, just as it stands on the cusp of a recession.
“It is now vital the Conservative Party speedily comes to a decision on a new leader who can return both political and economic stability.
“The new administration must immediately set out how they plan to deal with soaring energy bills, labour shortages, spiralling inflation and interest rates.
“Flip-flopping on policies has led to low consumer and business confidence, with four in 10 firms expecting falling profits, as companies have seen little sign of a coherent strategy nor stability in Government decision making.
“The challenges that lay ahead of us are building by the day. Two thirds of firms expect to raise their prices and inflation is the top concern. Interest rates are set to climb further in November and energy bills will now rocket again for many in April.
“This is unsustainable. Government must work with business to address three main issues, to show it recognises the challenges firms face.
“Firstly, they must look again at the energy support package for businesses and communicate quickly how the system will work from April.
“Secondly, they must fix the labour market, without the skilled people to do the jobs businesses need, the economy cannot thrive.
“Thirdly, to grow the economy they must set out a strategy to boost our exports.
“People run businesses and businesses rely on people. The new administration must grasp that the cost of living and cost of doing business crises are two sides of the same coin.
“We still need a clear long-term vision on how it will support firms, and the communities that rely on them, to thrive.”

Compassion and Community play a huge part in the life of every human being. Without those, there is all too often a deep rooted sense of missing inner peace affecting our concentration, enthusiasm, social connections and our very personalities – even without realising it. Yet, as we function in our daily lives, we often rush around and forget to make the time and space we need to recharge and to enjoy the social interactions with our families and friends which keep us grounded and healthy. In the UK, productivity is at an all-time low as the workforce struggle with their mental health, juggling to earn around family commitments, long and stressful commutes or, at the opposite end of the scale, social isolation and draining digital lifestyles. Swarm’s goal is to equip every staff member and learner with the knowledge and skills they need for their role, the self-management techniques needed for their social, physical and spiritual wellbeing to navigate their mental health and energy, as well as the appropriate working disciplines and conduct. In turn we have been privileged to see the impact that has on businesses and staff in elevating productivity, profitability, happiness at work and long term employer/employee relationships reducing business costs, disruption and loss of earnings.
Our firm values of Compassion, Family and Impact is what makes us different!
