delivering growth:
investment
We can unleash growth if businesses have the right operating framework. But all too often, the broader fiscal conditions and the mechanisms that drive it, are not directly in the control of business.
Everything from the overarching tax system to business rates, planning, infrastructure and connectivity currently don’t deliver enough growth.
Through this campaign, we aim to work with Government to champion everything impacting a business’s ability to scale, grow and achieve a sustainable footing. When businesses grow, so do their people and the communities they serve.
The right investment decisions unlock growth. The wrong ones have dire consequences. This campaign seeks to put businesses on the front foot.
Our advocacy is identifying the right investment levers that really support business ambitions.

a smarter way to deliver infrastructure
the great british supply chain
The UK’s supply chains are under growing pressure. Fragmented procurement is hampering skills development, harming cyber resilience, and further exposing the UK economy to global instability. It is undermining the country’s infrastructure and industrial ambitions.
Based on the hands-on experience of Chambers, this paper offers a set of recommendations that simplify and reweight procurement rules. They align skills and infrastructure planning with project pipelines, build cyber resilience across supply chains, and diversify international supply partnerships.
The tools exist. The business community is ready. Now is the moment for the government to act.
