Guests from a variety of sectors asked hard hitting questions about the recession, inflation and productivity.

Alex Pratt OBE, chairman of Buckinghamshire Business First (BBF) commented: ‘This was a fantastic opportunity for businesses across Bucks to discuss their issues and concerns with a representative from the UK’s Central Bank. We are pleased to be able to offer BBF members the opportunity to share their thoughts with senior decision makers and help to shape the economic future of the country.’

Phil Eckersley said he has taken all the comments on board and will feed the concerns of Buckinghamshire businesses directly into the Monetary Policy Committee. The lunch was a unique opportunity for Buckinghamshire Business First members to influence policy makers at a senior level.
