GREAT Trade and Investment reposted this
A warm welcome to the newly appointed Secretary of State for Business and Trade, and President of the Board of Trade, Jonathan Reynolds 📣
Will be interesting hear what experience he can bring/share in business and international trade.
Congratulations on your appointment as the Secretary of State for business and trade. I wish you my very best to restore long-term growth and prosperity for the UK. I am confident that GREAT opportunities can be unlocked for British food and drink businesses under your leadership. It was a pleasure to meet you recently and as an DBT Export Champion 2024-25, I am looking forward to working with your brilliant team in not so distant future.

Yes, business and trade are critical factors in the economy. However, house prices and investment in housing reduce trade opportunities in the UK. This is because it has become an as easy job for people who can afford the mortgage and make them do the minimum in society, where those people gain knowledge in different work fields and can make new trade investments. For example, in the USA, lots of early retired people start to trade in electric aeroplanes or electric bikes or any other trade. This is because the demand for rent is lower in the USA than in the UK. So, if anyone can find a less risky business (renting business), why attempt a higher-risk business and eventually reduce trade investment?
Also as North Yorkshire and all The Humber were previously not considered a priority for support for international trade will this now change?
Congratulations on being appointed as the Secretary of State for business and trade! Hopefully we will have the opportunity and pleasure to work with you in the near future. We look forward to seeing how international trade develops over the coming months. 🌟
Good luck

2moParty politics to one side, it’s so great to hear a familiar accent at the top (fellow Sunderland person here!) and also so great to see a range of backgrounds, regional accents and different viewpoints being represented in Government. Really look forward to working on our new agenda in DBT, and welcome to the Department!
