The Northern Echo gave the first Budget from Rt Hon Rachel Reeves three marks out of ten. We hoped for more specific mentions from our ten-point wishlist, but will now analyse what was said and see if we can find more to build on.

We're already planning the next BUSINESSiQ quarterly magazine and I haven't even finished telling you about the last one! One of my highlights was the chance to catch up with The Northern Powerhouse Partnership CEO Henri Murison. Henri is a hugely respected and influential figure in the region and we talked about many issues such as Mayors, Net Zero, skills, child poverty and the key role of successful organisations like Tees Components and the North East Chamber of Commerce.

☕Time for another Brew!☕ For the latest Business Brew podcast, we talked to Reshma Begum, who looks after the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) in the North East. The FSB does vital work across the country, but in the fastest-changing of all regions that army of small businesses is a vital part of the scaffolding supporting our growth. The opportunities for SMEs are unrivalled here, so it was great to catch up with Reshma to talk at such an exciting time.
