In a new partnership with Gilson Gray LLP, this quarterly survey will provide the insight into what makes our regional economy tick.
The latest QES report shows almost three-quarters of companies in the North-east are staffing up for growth amid signs that the economy is returning to prosperity. More than half of companies (58%) located in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire expect their turnover to grow over the next 12 months, fuelled by demand from overseas. To meet the opportunity, 71% are looking to grow their workforce, 12-percentage points ahead of the UK average (59%).
The latest North-east Quarterly Economic Survey, launched by Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with law firm Gilson Gray LLP, benchmarks key indicators in the region’s economy against the wider UK.
Findlay Anderson, Partner and Head of Corporate at Gilson Gray LLP shares his reflections on the Q2 North-east Quarterly Economic Survey results.
We have written to the new Prime Minister in the hope that his government can provide the much needed economic stability that will create the conditions for business to thrive in every part of the UK; but selfishly our focus is very much on supporting our members and the wider North-east community.
