Small Business Outlook 2013

Lord Young of Graffham, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Enterprise, Mike Kapur, Chairman of the CBI Small Business Forum, and Richard Coleman, Director, SMEs at Zurich Insurance plc, join Andrew Carter, Deputy Chief Executive at Centre for Cities to discuss the recent Centre for Cities report Small Business Outlook and consider how small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) can be supported in their cities. Why should SME policy be at the heart of the economic growth agenda? How can local government do more to support SMEs, and do they have the power to do this? What is the role of local business groups and LEPs in supporting SME growth? Small Business Outlook 2013 was supported by Zurich Insurance plc.
