Dorset Chamber call for new Government to focus on economy

Dorset Chamber has been quick to react to the news of the landslide Labour victory.

Ian Girling, chief executive said: “Congratulations to Keir Starmer on becoming our new Prime Minister at the head of this country’s first Labour government in 14 years.

“With the country deciding it is time for change and new leadership, we urge his government to immediately seize this opportunity to unequivocally place the economy and business at the heart of its policies.

“As the voice of business in Dorset, we will be working closely with fellow members of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) to encourage the government to use this new start to rebuild economic confidence and tackle the myriad challenges holding business back.

“Our congratulations also go to the Members of Parliament elected in constituencies across Dorset.

“We look forward to working closely with them to help drive the local economy and build on Dorset’s deserved reputation as one of the very best places in which to live, work and do business.”
