BUSINESSES  in West and North Yorkshire are being given the opportunity to share their experiences and challenges directly with important figures in British economics.

The West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce's Quarterly Economic Survey has operated for more than a decade, and claims to be Britain's biggest business survey.

Its results are shared with institutions including the Treasury, the Bank of England, the Office for Budget Responsibility, and West Yorkshire Combined Authority, as well as regional and national media.

Updated every quarter to reflect current events, the survey takes just a few minutes to complete.

Mark Casci, head of policy and representation at West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, said: "Running a business is a rewarding and often exhilarating experience but it can at times be quite a lonely pursuit.

"Sharing your successes and concerns ensures you do not feel that sense of isolation, as we as a Chamber can amplify your views to those who need to hear them.

"The first step towards solving a problem is acknowledging one exists in the first place, so do take the time to complete the survey and be part of the conversation."
