Our managing director Simon Boyd will be on the panel at a Jobs Foundation regional round table event in Exeter. Simon is chair of the charity’s South West Business Council, which is holding the session at Exeter College on Tuesday November 18. The event, titled 'Backing Business to Boost Employment: Policy Priorities from the South West', is the second to be held by the regional council following its launch in Christchurch in September. It will be an opportunity to explore the barriers and opportunities facing businesses when it comes to creating jobs, supporting skills and driving growth across the region. Comments at the roundtable will also form the foundation of the Jobs Foundation’s future research and policy work, as it looks to establish its South West Business Council as a voice for the region's business community.
