Businesses in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire are 'confident' for the year ahead despite the ongoing challenges posed by inflation, global politics and the pandemic, a new report has found.
Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire LEP questioned almost 800 local businesses as part of its Situation Report (SITREP) and accompanying business insights survey in January.
Now the results have been published to what the LEP says is the 'largest intelligence gathering exercise' it has ever undertaken. It enabled the LEP to gather real-time insights, remain in-touch with the issues that businesses are facing and work with partners to find solutions.
