UK cities are at a crossroads in their development as they come under pressure to grow in a sustainable way and use resources more efficiently. Business, too, is having to address climate change and its impact on the environment. How can a growing ecosystem of private, public and third sector best work together on sustainability and what will our future cities look like? Grant Thornton’s in-depth report reviews the sustainability and business landscape.

Confidence among businesses has fallen according to the latest ICAEW/Grant Thornton UK Business Confidence Monitor (BCM), indicating that the economic recovery will slow in the second half of 2010. Despite uncertainty as to the impact on the recovery of the Coalition Government’s plans to reduce public spending, the BCM’s financial performance indicators suggest that the financial health of UK businesses continues to improve.

The engine room of the UK economy is gearing up to pump again with more than half of our surveyed CEOs and FDs expecting it to become easier to finance their business activities in the next 12 months. But with the funding taps mostly being turned on for larger, blue-chip companies, many are facing another year of frustration and/or creative growth strategies. Grant Thornton’s latest survey maps the financing needs and wants of the UK mid-market.

“In the bleak midwinter, the VAT rate increase made moan…” Not quite the first line of the Rossetti poem, but the planned 2.5% increase in VAT from the beginning of next year will still bring a chill to both consumers and businesses. So what can be done to make New Year a little happier for both?

Like many serial entrepreneurs, Luke Johnson believes in getting off your behind, facing down the risks and rising to a challenge. Never more so than in 1992, when he was living on an overdraft in order to help finance a reverse takeover of Pizza Express. It was a transformational moment, which he relives here as the latest subject of Grant Thornton’s My Big Decision series.
