APSCo Update

Stuart Feest, Global Enterprise Director, APSCo

People work most days, spend money every day, but only get paid on payday. Does this make sense in 2022?

Stephen Holliday, CEO, Level Financial Technology
With on-demand pay, staff can access a portion of their earned wage whenever they want. Closing the gap between work and pay dramatically improves the financial wellbeing of workers; while slashing attrition, time taken to hire, absenteeism and unfilled shifts for the employer. Steve will discuss how financial innovations enable all of this without impacting cashflow at all.

Economic Update

Stuart Bennett, Head of G10 FX Strategy, Santander
As businesses start to plan for 2023, Stuart will provide the latest economic update.
He will discuss:

• How uncertainty over the war and energy prices is impacting the UK

• Whether the UK will enter a recession

• The impact of a Liz Truss led government on the economy

• Whether the US$ will achieve parity with the GBP and what this means for the UK

• Whether Brexit is still an issue for the UK and trading with mainland Europe
