The business services sector is one of the UK’s success stories. It has a turnover of £263 billion, over 8% of total economy wide output and is steadily growing. The sector employs around 3.3m people across the UK and is a major contributor of UK employment growth with 12 out of the 50 fastest growing occupations falling within the business services sector.

To celebrate the sector, we have set up a week dedicated to business service professionals including legal, recruitment, media and advertising and financial service companies. We will be hosting several events across the week around improving profitability and some of the changes due to take place.
