The latest news from the sectors that matter to business


Businesses missing out on billions in untapped growth


West Midlands businesses could miss out on billions of pounds of untapped growth during 2018, according to new research by financial adviser Grant Thornton. The research – ‘Planning for


growth – don’t let uncertainty hold you back’ – looked into the barriers holding back the growth of private sector businesses, which underpins the whole of the UK economy.


‘Economic growth largely depends on the prosperity of the private sector’


The research – prompted by low


number of firms meeting the Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development (OECD) definition of ‘high growth’ – also identified the characteristics possessed by the country’s most sustainable growing businesses. Grant Thornton surveyed 1,000

high-growth businesses who, despite uncertainty, achieved 20 per cent or more turnover growth in the last year – they are called the Growth Generators. They are purpose-driven, invested in growth, tech confident and networked. “Our survey also found 41 per


cent of business leaders believe uncertainty is impacting their growth. But it’s definitely not all about Brexit and uncertainty. “External forces, such as Brexit


and regulation feature lower on businesses’ list of concerns. If we learn what sets ‘Growth Generator’ businesses apart we could release this significant latent potential for growth, which could be game- changing for the region and the UK.”
