The Prime Minister has formed five new business councils to advise on how to create the best business conditions in the UK after Brexit.

Veröffentlicht am 6. November 2018; Von: Prime Minister’s Office, 10 Downing Street und The Rt Hon Theresa May MP.

Jeder Rat wird bestrebt sein, dreimal im Jahr zusammenzukommen, zweimal mit dem Premierminister und einmal mit einem hochrangigen Kabinettsmitglied, um Beratung auf hohem Niveau und politische Empfehlungen zu den kritischen Themen, die die Wirtschaft betreffen, anzubieten. Die Räte werden auch ein Forum für die Regierung sein, um sich über die Entwicklung politischer Ideen auszutauschen und die Meinungen der Mitglieder einzuholen.

Unter dem gemeinsamen Vorsitz von zwei Wirtschaftsführern wird jeder Rat rund zehn Mitglieder umfassen, die die Kernsektoren der britischen Wirtschaft vertreten, sowie einen Vertreter der wichtigsten Unternehmensgruppen des Vereinigten Königreichs.

Die Premierministerin Theresa May sagte: Das Vereinigte Königreich war schon immer einer der besten Plätze der Welt, um Geschäfte zu machen, und ist führend in Sektoren von der fortschrittlichen Herstellung bis hin zu den Kreativbranchen.

Der Brexit bietet eine Riesenchance, eine bessere und stärkere Wirtschaft für die Menschen im ganzen Land aufzubauen.

Also habe ich diese neuen Räte gebeten, und die Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen aufzuzeigen, denen sich Unternehmen gegenüber sehen, wenn wir das UK der Zukunft formen.

Die Premierministerin wird die Vizevorsitzenden erstmals am Mittwoch, den 7. November in der Downing Street begrüßen, wo sie ihre Ziele darlegen wird und sie übergreifende Probleme diskutieren werden, wie Produktivität und internationale Investitionen. Im weiteren Verlauf werden die Vizevorsitzenden dafür verantwortlich sein, die Agenden vorzubereiten, sicherzustellen, dass alle Mitglieder unterrichtet sind und die Ergebnisse und Fortschritte bei den wichtigsten Möglichkeiten für die von ihrem Rat vertretenen Unternehmen zu verbessern: Jan du Plessis (Vorsitzender der BT-Gruppe) und Carolyn McCall (CEO, ITV) wird den Vorsitz des Rates Telecoms, Creative, Technology und Media übernehmen. John Allan (President, CBI) und Stephen Martin (DG, IOD) werden die Repräsentanten der Unternehmensgruppe sein.

Roger Carr (Chairman, BAE Systems) and Ian Davis (Chairman, Rolls Royce) will co-chair the Industrial, Infrastructure and Manufacturing Council. Stephen Phipson (CEO, EEF) will be the business group representative.

James Timpson (CEO, Timpson), Brent Hoberman (Co-Founder and Chairman, Founders Forum) and Emma Jones (Founder, Enterprise Nation) will co-chair the Small Business, Scale ups and Entrepreneurs Council. Mike Cherry (National Chairman, Federation of Small Business) will be the business group representative.

Paul Manduca (Chairman, Prudential) and Shriti Vadera (Chairman, Santander UK) will co-chair the Services - Financial, Professional and Education Services Council. Carolyn Fairbairn, (DG, CBI) will be the business group representative.

Dave Lewis (CEO, Tesco) and Emma Walmsley (CEO, GSK) will co-chair the Consumer, Retail and Life Sciences Council. Adam Marshall (DG, British Chambers of Commerce) will be the business group representative.

Emma Jones, Founder, Enterprise Nation said: The overwhelming majority of businesses in the UK are small and they are the heart of our economy – so I’m pleased that their voice is formally being recognised in these councils. I’m looking forward to representing these entrepreneurs and innovators and discussing their unique perspective with the Prime Minister.

Carolyn McCall, CEO, ITV said: Our creative industries are a £92bn sector, growing at twice the rate of the economy and setting trends around the world. The UK exported nearly £1bn of TV programmes and formats alone in 2016/17 and film and high-end TV by themselves attracted over £2bn of inward investment to the UK in 2017, creating jobs, boosting tourism and attracting global talent to the UK. I’m delighted to co-lead with Jan Du Plessis, Chairman of BT, the Telecoms, Creatives Industries, Technology and Media council to continue to nurture this for the future.

Sir Roger Carr, Chairman, BAE Systems said: Companies in the Industrial, Manufacturing and Infrastructure sectors are the backbone of the economy and amongst our largest employers. We are a vital part of the wealth creating machinery of the country where improved training, productivity and exporting will be the cornerstones of our global success. Engaging with the Prime Minister to tackle these issues in a focused and practical manner is a welcome and important step forward in achieving our collective growth ambitions.

The launch of five business councils is a new initiative and forms part of a comprehensive, sector-focused approach, enabling the Prime Minister and government to engage directly with more businesses in the different sectors of our economy.

Business council terms of reference.

The role of each business council will be to provide the Prime Minister and her ministerial team with regular, high-level advice and policy recommendations on critical issues affecting business that will enable companies to invest, grow and succeed in the UK once it leaves the European Union.

The Prime Minister has formed five new business councils to advise on how to create the best business conditions in the UK after Brexit.

Published 6 November 2018; From: Prime Minister's Office, 10 Downing Street and The Rt Hon Theresa May MP.

Each council will aim to meet three times a year, twice with the Prime Minister and once with a senior cabinet minister, to provide high-level advice and policy recommendations on the critical issues affecting business. The councils will also be a forum for government to share developing policy ideas and seek the views of members.

Co-chaired by two business leaders, each council will have around ten members representing core sectors of the UK economy, as well as a representative from the UK’s key business groups.

The Prime Minister, Theresa May, said:

The UK has always been one of the best places in the world to do business and is a leader in sectors from advanced manufacturing to the creative industries.

Brexit presents a huge opportunity to build a better, stronger economy for people all over the country.

So I’ve asked these new councils to advise us on the opportunities and challenges facing business as we shape the UK for the future.

The Prime Minister will welcome the co-chairs at Downing Street for the first time on Wednesday 7 November, where she will set out their objectives and they will discuss cross-cutting issues such as productivity and international investment.
