What lies ahead for UK business?
A number of speakers at the conference referred to building societies having an important social role that went beyond merely providing services to consumers. Carolyn Fairbairn, the Director-General of business body the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), expanded on this theme to stress the need for businesses to lead the way in defining the UK’s future in the face of current uncertainties.

Keynote speaker Andrew Sentance, former member of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee, opened the conference with insights into UK growth and the wider economy, forecasting that a 2-3% UK bank rate was a reasonable expectation for the early 2020's.
