Buckinghamshire Business First would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who completed the survey. Your insights continue to give us a crucial insight into the trends that are developing within the Buckinghamshire business community with regards to jobs, growth, exporting and more. This insight is crucial to us as we strive to improve the conditions in which businesses work.

The results showed that 8% of businesses had increased their export figures in the months leading up to the survey; 60% had grown their business; 17% had increased their prices; 29% had employed new staff; and 9% had taken on an apprentice. Additionally, 52% of respondents said they would consider taking on an apprentice.
