The leaders of two South West chambers of commerce are urging the government to provide “practical support" to companies amid the energy crisis.
Somerset Chamber of Commerce’s chief executive, Emma Rawlings, said the cost-of-living crisis and “the cost-of-doing business crisis” were “two sides of the same coin”.
“The government is running out of time to offer businesses and households the support they need - firms cannot afford to wait another month without practical support measures being put in place,” she said.
