Business Advice for all UK firms from starting a business to flotation
50% of firms ‘considering job cuts'
Half of UK businesses are considering or are certain to make redundancies in the next six months, according to the British Chamber of Commerce (BCC).
The survey of 450 companies also found that not a single firm is planning to increase stock holdings over the next quarter and only 20% of businesses see the UK economy returning to growth by the end of the year.
"With half of firms still thinking about cutting their workforce by the end of the year, the government must continue to promote measures that stimulate growth in investment and jobs," said Adam Marshall, Director of Policy at the BCC.
