Humber Business Week 2026 | Featuring the CBI’s Deputy Chief Economist

Business Economic Breakfast Briefing

Following the success of last year’s event, we are delighted to once again host the Business Economic Breakfast Briefing during Humber Business Week – bringing together up to 200 senior business leaders, directors and decision-makers from across the Humber region.

This is a standout opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and gain a clearer view of the economic landscape shaping UK businesses right now.

This year’s keynote speaker

We are proud to welcome Alpesh Paleja, Deputy Chief Economist at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).

Alpesh leads the CBI’s Economic Intelligence team and is at the heart of its economic forecasts and business surveys, used by organisations and policymakers across the UK. He works directly with businesses to help them interpret economic data and understand what it really means for growth, investment and decision-making.

What you’ll gain from attending

Expect a fast-moving, insight-driven session that goes beyond headlines and theory. Alpesh will share:

  • The latest intelligence on the UK economic outlook
  • Key trends affecting businesses across sectors
  • What leaders should be watching in the months ahead
  • Practical insight to support planning and strategic decisions

This is about clarity, context and confidence — delivered in a way that is engaging, relevant and grounded in real business experience.

More than just a briefing

Alongside the keynote session, the event offers valuable time to connect with peers, share perspectives and build relationships with fellow business leaders from across the region, all over breakfast in a professional yet relaxed setting.

Hosted by

This event is hosted and sponsored by Forrester Boyd, Bridge McFarland LLP, Systematic and The Grimsby Institute, as part of Humber Business Week.

Food/Drink
Breakfast pastries and refreshments will be provided.

Places are free but limited and demand is expected to be high. Secure your place now and be part of one of Humber Business Week’s key business events.
