After months of campaigning, today’s Government announcement to reverse the increase to the National Insurance Contribution (NIC) is a big win for the British Chambers of Commerce and the business community. This is much needed support for businesses during these difficult times.
“There are a range of other challenges that must be addressed including labour shortages, supply chain disruption, and rising raw material costs. Tomorrow’s mini budget from the Chancellor is now a critical moment. To truly revitalise our economy for the difficult months ahead then tomorrow must bring a clear long-term plan that gives business the confidence to grow.”
Dorset Chamber Chief Executive Ian Girling added:“This support for businesses is very welcome and the British Chambers of Commerce continues to work closely with and lobby Government on behalf of Chamber members across the country. As the accredited Chamber for Dorset, we continue to feed through the issues from Dorset businesses to inform and support this lobbying.”
