Business Survey 2025

Next Wednesday, the Chancellor will deliver her second Budget, a key moment that will shape the future for businesses across our region.

Over the past year, many local business owners have told me that recent decisions in the Budget have made it harder to grow, plan ahead, and support their staff. This experience is echoed by business communities across the country.

I want to ensure that your voice is heard clearly in Westminster. To do that, I’m asking local business owners to share their views in a short survey.

Your feedback will help me speak up for policies that reward enterprise, reduce unnecessary red tape, and support jobs and growth here in Beverley and Holderness.

Thank you for taking the time to share your views.
