Rishi Sunak has invited business leaders from several sectors of commerce to join a new initiative he has started to “turbocharge” economic growth. CEOs from companies such as AstraZeneca, Sainsbury, and BAE Systems are among those joining the Business Council.

The fourteen members of the council are considered leaders in their field and represent some of the country’s largest employers.

Sunak was “at pains” to say that this will not be just another talking shop, and the issues that are raised, and the proposals that are considered will be fed directly into Government policy.

The Prime Minister is keen to demonstrate that there is room for a joint initiative between the public and private sectors.

The CEO of BAE Systems, Charles Woodburn, spoke of his belief that now more than ever, it is important that the Government work closely with industry to ensure that every opportunity is carefully considered to drive economic prosperity forward.
