This morning, I was delighted to welcome the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, to my business breakfast club.
Philip gave a great talk to the audience, made up of local business owners and professionals about the economy and the future of technology and how this will shape our lives. He addressed the UK productivity challenge, and then kindly took questions on taxation, infrastructure and innovation.
My thanks to Philip for giving such a positive and forward-thinking talk, to Mike Cumper for organising the breakfast, and to the Hilton hotel for hosting. I am pictured below with Philip, Elise Dunweber who is Chairwoman of the Esher and Walton Conservative Women’s Association and her two daughters.
