Whether this is economic feedback on the latest Quarterly Economic Survey; challenges in your supply chain or how the rising cost of living is impacting on your business, we will ensure that as many of our members as possible get the opportunity to comment on issues that affect them on a local and regional basis.
The greater the amount of feedback, the louder the voice of Norfolk business.
Quarterly Economic Survey (QES)
Facts:
- QES is the largest independent business survey in the UK
- It’s a leading indicator – often picking up big changes in the economy long before other surveys or official statistics
- It is used by the Chancellor, the Bank of England and the International Monetary Fund to compare the health of the UK economy
Norfolk Chambers will actively seek Norfolk business feedback for the QES. The survey questions range from topics such as export sales and orders, recruitment needs, cash flow and business confidence and what types of factors are affecting businesses i.e. raw material costs, interest rates, exchange rates and corporation tax
The survey takes less than 3 minutes to complete online and is anonymous. The QES is an important survey to take part in, as the more businesses that complete the survey, the louder the voice of business in Norfolk.
