We are also relieved that the increases in corporation tax will not take effect until 2023. Lobbying by Suffolk Chamber and other chambers across the country has clearly and demonstrably worked.
David Burch, director of policy at Essex Chamber of Commerce, however, sounded a more cautious note.
He said: As with all Budget announcements the devil is always in the detail but there is plenty for businesses in Essex to welcome from today’s announcements.

It will provide training in cutting-edge digital skills for people looking to pursue careers in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector, as well as fuelling high tech businesses who increasingly require access to a talented technology workforce. Specialist high tech laboratories will form the heart of the new centre, and will be used jointly by university staff, students and businesses at Adastral Park and across the region.

A river cruise restaurant has been buoyed by a grant which will help it extend its sailing season.

Co-owner Kris Ambury who runs the business with partner Craig said the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) grant boost means that the business will be able to make up for lost time once lockdown restrictions ease.
