Rain Newton-Smith on joining the CBI
I am really pleased to be joining the CBI to support its important work helping to get UK growth back on track for the long-term at such an exciting time for British business.
The CBI has an excellent reputation for economic analysis and is uniquely positioned to provide timely business insights, including through its regular surveys and forecasts. I look forward to building on those strengths.
