Finance Forum – September

The Finance Forum is a quarterly breakfast event, for business owners and senior executives who are interested in the latest economic trends, in terms of what it means for the London labour market, specifically within Finance.

In terms of the political and economic background:

The Leeds reforms have been announced, and the Government has made much of their plan to ensure Financial Services is geared to drive economic growth. However considerable headwinds have now formed, due to a combination of tariff pressures, geopolitical factors combined with the impact of the last budget. Nonetheless, interest rates are set to fall, and there are signs the economy could well pick up. How will this impact hiring in the sector?

In this presentation we will therefore analyse:

Macro Economic Data – Looking forward, what does the latest economic data mean for the job market across Finance

Surges by Sector – Spotlighting which sectors are surging in Q2 (Across Accountancy, Banking, Consulting, Insurance, Law & Fintech)

Skills In Demand – Which job functions are seeing the most significant change

Fastest Growing Companies – Companies leading growth in their sectors

Forecasting Future Hotspots – Predictions for industries and roles to watch in the coming months
