I would like to congratulate the Labour Party on its successful general election campaign and I pledge to work collaboratively with the new Government to foster economic growth and stability.

We are eager to see their strategies for driving the country forward and how we can support our 1,200 chamber members across Herefordshire, Worcestershire and beyond.

Our members have consistently demonstrated their strength and adaptability in the face of various challenges.

Now, they look to the new Government to provide the stability and opportunities necessary for future growth.

We are particularly interested in collaborating on policies that support interest rates, tackle inflation, address the skills gap, and navigate the ongoing impacts of Brexit.

We look forward to engaging with both re-elected and newly elected MPs to create a conducive business environment.

Our commitment is to work hand in hand with the government, offering robust support to our members to stimulate business growth.

Together with the new Government and British Chambers of Commerce, we aim to build a thriving local economy that benefits not only our businesses but also our communities.
