Business leaders in North Wales are invited to hear a leading business economist provide his insights into the implications of the upcoming Budget announcement.
Dr Dominic Swords, a regular contributor to the BBC’s News 24 and World Business Report, will address guests just hours after Chancellor George Osborne unveils his Budget for 2014.
The free event, hosted by the Institute of Directors (IoD) North Wales branch in partnership with the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA) Cymru Wales, is taking place at OpTic, Glyndwr University, St Asaph.
Attendees will also have chance to network at the event on Wednesday 19 March, which is the same day as the Chancellor’s statement.
IoD North Wales chair, Helen Watson (pictured), said: “It’s brilliant to have secured Dominic to speak about the impact the Budget will have on businesses in North Wales. His wealth of knowledge and experience will be a benefit to all who attends.
“This event is open to non-members and we urge everyone to take advantage of this opportunity.”
Dominic often provides insight and analysis for broadcast programmes including, CNBC’s Strictly Money and the BBC’s Financial World Tonight. He has previously worked in economic intelligence at the Bank of England.
A published author, he also works in London Business School and Henley Business School.
