What are the challenges and opportunities facing Brighton’s economy?
Flo Powell from Midnight Communications writes after the recent joint BHEP/Brighton Chamber City Event, looking at what successes we can celebrate from the past year, but also what challenges lie ahead for Brighton’s economy.
More than 100 people attended Brighton Chamber’s recent City Event on 2 March to listen from experts and discuss the future of our city.
Chaired by Dean Orgill, Chief Executive Partner at Mayo Wynne Baxter and Chair of Brighton & Hove Economic Partnership (BHEP), the panel delivered a huge amount of insight and plenty of positives, with a cautious eye on the cost-of-living crisis, energy crisis and the changing nature of working practices since the pandemic.
Joined by business leaders from across Brighton & Hove, Flo Powell from Midnight Communications writes up the panel discussion, hearing from:
• Gavin Stewart, Executive Director at BHEP and CEO at Brighton BID
• Donna Chisholm, Executive Director at Brighton & Hove City Council
• Andrew Comben, CEO at Brighton Dome & Festival
• Valentine Quinio, Senior Analyst at Centre for Cities
