To help employers in the region meet the needs of the evolving regulatory climate and changing political and economic landscape, independent education charity the National Skills Academy for Financial Services (NSAFS) is hosting a conference for South West financial services employers. With more than 87,000 people employed in financial services, the industry is a key sector of the regional economy.
Titled “Recession, recovery and regulation”, the conference will be held this Thursday 11 February at the Exchange Conference Centre in Bridgwater and will focus on supporting businesses and assist them with their growth aspirations.
The Keynote speaker is John Penrose MP, Shadow Minister for Business, Enterprise, and Regulatory Reform. In addition, and following the title of the conference, Alun Powell, Senior Economist at HSBC will give those attending a current view of ‘The State of the UK PLC’, and Jonathan Bundy, Senior Associate, Professional Standards Policy from the Financial Services Authority (FSA), will outline meeting the challenges of regulation.
