This will be followed by a lively discussion centred around economic issues affecting Swindon and Wiltshire based on questions from the floor and with input from a panel of local business leaders. Panellists include James Phipps, CEO of Excalibur Group, George Paton, partner at WebbPaton rural chartered surveyors, Gavin Calthrop, head of place marketing at Switch on to Swindon and Robert Buckland, editor of Swindon Business News.

Rishi Ladwa, a senior associate at Royds Withy King who will be chairing the event, said: “We look forward to welcoming the Swindon and Wiltshire business community to the annual Economic Question Time which is one of our most popular events and always provides plenty of food for thought.
