Thames Valley: Business confidence survey open for comments

Businesses in the region are encouraged to take part in the latest Thames Valley Business Barometer which has now opened and runs until early May. The bi-annual survey of the region’s business leaders provides a snapshot of economic confidence and business performance across the Thames Valley. The Barometer has tracked developing business trends in the region for the past seven years.

The Barometer survey is carried out by accountants and business advisers BDO LLP and Thames Valley-based PR agency C8 Consulting. As well as focusing on economic confidence, business performance and employment intentions, the latest Barometer will also look at employee wellbeing within Thames Valley businesses. The survey results will be published in June.

Simon Brooker, partner and head of BDO in the Thames Valley, said: “The performance indicators of businesses across the region remained relatively strong in recent surveys despite uncertainty in the market. It will be interesting to see whether the latest developments have had any impact.”

Paula Elliott, managing director, C8 Consulting, commented: “The previous survey, carried out last autumn, put the spotlight on cybersecurity trends. This survey will look at employee wellbeing. This has become an increasingly prominent issue and we will be interested to find out what Thames Valley businesses are doing to address it.”
