In your experience, how are local businesses faring in the current market?
From my position within the bank, we are starting to see growing confidence from our business customers within the local business community and a gradual increase in their appetite for borrowing. Just a year ago, many of these businesses were more cautious or felt it was just too early to be investing. However, they are now exhibiting more confidence on the strength of the UK’s economic outlook.
