Enterprise Britain in City AM

City AM Editor-in-Chief Christian May welcomed the launch of Enterprise Britain and our first report, “Time to Act", in his leader column.

Christian highlighted a number of our policy recommendations, including tackling the risk-averse culture amongst pension funds, promoting retail investment, and launching a national campaign to showcase and elevate entrepreneurs.

He also touched on our broader ambition to create a “nation of shareholders” in which more Britons are invested in — and directly benefit from — companies’ success:

“What makes the report stand out is that in addition to the well-argued policy recommendations, the authors make the case that this isn’t just about shifting the dial on GDP growth; it’s about building a society that understands and celebrates the contribution of entrepreneurs, employers and businesses of all sizes. This, they argue, is best achieved when people have a tangible stake in economic success, whether through higher wages, investment returns or just clarity over their pension and personal finances.

“Enterprise Britain hasn’t just outlined a manifesto for growth but a blueprint for a more engaged, prosperous and ambitious country.”
