As we come to the end of the year what are the economic trends predicted by the markets? What opportunities and challenges do they bring to members? With a presentation from the Bank of England to set the scene we'll then discuss this in a panel session with the question "What opportunities and challenges will the trends discussed earlier bring to BECBC members in 2025?" Panellists will include Peter Fleming from Peter Fleming Business Consultancy and Louise Gardham from Marsh Commercial. Marsh have just published their UK Business Risk Report which you can find here: How To Tackle Your Biggest Business Risks For 2025 (marshcommercial.co.uk)​

As always in our December meeting we'll be holding our popular Christmas Jumper competition to raise funds for our Charity of the Year, Time to Change West Cumbria and there'll be a networking lunch.

Time to Change will also have their Calderwood Coffee for sale at the registration desk.
