Join this session to discuss key themes in a private forum with 6-10 peers from across the credit industry.
Persistent wage inflation, higher employment taxes, and elevated operating costs are fundamentally reshaping the economics of UK financial services. For boards and executive teams, the question is no longer how to absorb these pressures, but how business models must evolve to remain competitive, resilient, and investable.
This board-level session brings together CEOs and senior leaders to examine the impact of rising employment costs on productivity, profitability, and long-term strategic positioning. The discussion will explore how businesses are rethinking workforce models, location strategies, automation, and operating leverage and what this means for the UK’s ability to compete globally.
Participants will gain executive insight into the business model shifts required to navigate sustained cost pressure, balance talent investment with efficiency, and protect growth in an increasingly constrained economic environment.
