How’s business? A short member sentiment survey

2024 is well underway, we’re just around the corner from the Spring Statement and for the sector it’s pretty much business as usual…   or is it?

In this short survey, which shouldn’t take more than five minutes to complete, we’re asking you how Christmas trade turned out, what your January business was like and we explore your confidence and primary concerns for the year ahead.

The data we obtain in this survey will be used for feedback on the sentiment of the sector to the Government, and help us in steering our policy focus going forward.

Please take a few moments to answer all the questions and, as always, we’re interested in hearing about your experiences.   If you wish to share further information after completing the short survey, please email membership@bira.co.uk
