It was a privilege to have some time to talk directly with Lord Dominic Johnson who is without doubt one of our most knowledgeable and energetic ministers!
Indeed, I was struck when talking to a Vice President of a large US bank how much they admired him, because he has a real business background, and talked practically about trade opportunities.
He is not only focused on trade but also Smarter Regulation to avoid over burden for businesses, which is important if we want to see some growth!
Since May last year, he has announced a series of regulatory reforms to help improve regulation across the UK economy and support business growth which is expected to save employers £1 billion! 📈
In challenging times we must not lose sight of the opportunities for the future and Lord Johnson is a tonic in reminding us of the success of the UK financial services markets and our tech sector!
