You’re looking for talent. But here’s the paradox: despite the daily reports of layoffs, there still seems to be a dire shortage of the right people.

Chancellor’s Budget a step in the right direction – but there are (big) gaps
Last month’s eagerly awaited Budget delivered by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt had many welcome announcements and commitments from a slight improvement in R&D tax credits to additional funding for quantum computing and AI. It was particularly positive to see a big focus on getting ‘Britain back to work’, with a £2B investment committed to provide support for disabled people (at a time when nearly 1 in 5 working adults in the UK report having a disability) and £70M set aside to get the over-50s back into employment.

Britain is in search of meaning. The climate crisis could hold the answer
After a tumultuous few years, Britain is searching for new meaning on the world stage. Where it once held clout through its central role in the EU, it is now more ‘independent’ – and more isolated. The years since the Brexit referendum have been dominated by factionalism and political infighting. No clear vision for Britain has yet emerged, but irrespective of your political leanings, all must agree that Britain has no choice but to carve out its own niche.
