What could 2012 offer you and your business? For many Thames Valley-based businesses, 2012 is a year for optimism, opportunity, growth and investment, writes Patrick Long, Banking & Finance Partner, Pitmans LLP.
Respondents to Pitmans “Funding your Business” Survey , conducted in December 2011, clearly felt the UK economy’s recovery would remain in recession for the majority of 2012, but it is against this backdrop that over 60% of Thames Valley based respondents said that they anticipate a year of steady growth in 2012. This is a marked contrast to respondents from businesses which lie outside of the Thames Valley region, who predominantly forecast trade at similar levels as 2011.
The Thames Valley has long been labelled the economic powerhouse of the UK, thanks largely to its diversity, strong skills based and excellent infrastructure – attracting top talent and global businesses from software, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, utility and construction sectors.
