The British Chambers of Commerce Quarterly Economic Survey (QES) is used by the Bank of England and the Chancellor to plan the future of the UK economy and over 7,000 businesses across the UK take part.
Q4 2013 showed a fantastic start to 2014 with a very positive quarterly survey. Business confidence was high and Chamber members were resolute in their determination to take the recovery from being good to being truly great.
Firms from all sectors across Norfolk believe they can create jobs, invest, and export. It was especially pleasing that the spurt in the manufacturing was proven not to be a fluke, which demonstrated the dynamism of our small, high value, manufacturing sector.
The last QES results showed that Norfolk businesses are ready to push on. Exports continue to increase and the domestic balances were also strengthening. Are you more confident about your business? Have you employed more staff or are looking to invest in plant, machinery and training? Let us know by taking part in this important economic survey.
The survey takes less than 3 minutes to complete, so please take the time to input into this survey to ensure Norfolk has a voice. The survey needs to be completed online by Monday 17 March 2014.
