Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, has been told how the Humber will be at the centre of resolving energy security issues as rising prices send ripples through the economy.
The prestigious visitor was a guest of Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce, and he addressed 100 business leaders at a special breakfast event.
Welcomed by Chamber president Mike Whitehead at the Mercure Hull Grange Park Hotel, he told Mr Bailey how it has been a very difficult couple of years for businesses which have had to deal with all manner of challenges, from the Covid-19 pandemic, to rising energy prices and now the fall-out from the war in Ukraine.
