In an increasingly uncertain international scene, it’s more important than ever to deliver a stable and growing economy for our people and communities. For 250 years, building societies have been not only business success stories but pillars of stability in their communities. In this opening keynote, CBI CEO Rain Newton-Smith will argue that backing building societies is mission critical for growth, discussing the pressures on this vital sector and business across the UK, and pressing for what business needs to succeed in turbulent times.
