  • Growth Podcast Ep 4 – Springing on from the Budget

    Growth Podcast Ep 4 – Springing on from the Budget
    Mar 28 2023
    The Spring Budget was a significant one for business. But there’s no rest in our quest for growth – in this episode we talk green growth and skills too. 

    It’s worth reflecting on the Spring Budget on 15 March. After all, there was plenty in it to help firms go for growth. And although it may have been missing some green credentials – at the time of recording – we’re expecting to hear more on that front within days.   
    Joining us for this episode we have Katy Recina, Head of Economic Policy at the CBI, who’s trawled through the hundreds of pages of the red book so you don’t have to. 
    As so many of the measures she talks about – from wins on childcare and health support, to frustrations on the Apprenticeship Levy – relate to people and skills, we asked Matthew Percival, Director on our Changing Workforce Programme to join in the discussion. He helps us look back over our Future of Work Conference in early March, bringing in tips and advice from Pheonix Group and Microsoft too.

    Joining Syma Cullasy-Aldridge, Chief Campaigns Director, CBI, are: 

    • Katy Recina, Head of Economic Policy, CBI 
    • Matthew Percival, Programme Director, Changing Workforce, CBI 
    In this episode, we mention:

    The upcoming Budget is an important one for growth. But why should businesses care what’s in the Chancellor’s red box on 15 March? 

    Joining us for this episode we have Louise Hellem, Director of Economic Policy at the CBI to talk us through the headlines of what we’re asking for in the Budget, the business concerns that have led to them, and how government intervention on childcare, capital investment and green growth can make a huge impact on the economy.

    Also, just how do we nurture a healthy workforce and how important is it to boost growth? Lydia Hamilton-Rimmer, Senior Policy Adviser in the CBI’s Health team joins the pod to tell us more.

    Joining the CBI’s Associate Editor, Joe Marshall in conversation is:

    • Syma Cullasy-Aldridge, Chief Campaign Director, CBI
    • Louise Hellem, Director of Economic Policy, CBI
