The Bigger Picture - An Entrepreneurial Outlook for 2021

with Martin Vander Weyer, The Spectator

18 March 2021, 18:30 - 20:00

Delivered via Zoom

Focusing on ‘the bigger picture’, and the forces that shape the global economic and business landscape may be difficult for some, but not to Martin Vander Weyer, who regularly explores such topics as Business Editor and Any Other Business Columnist at The Spectator.

Hailed by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson as ‘the most oracular and entertaining commentator in town’, in our first ‘The Bigger Picture’ event, Martin will share his outlook for business in 2021, focusing on key issues such as the political impact of the new US administration on trade, green revolution opportunities, and the growing significance of ‘purposeful’ business.

Chaired by Dave Roberts, Xcel Broadcast, this intimate event will allow a limited number of entrepreneurs the chance to learn more about the key issues facing UK businesses in the medium and long term. Guests will also have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the evening.
