INVERCLYDE Chamber of Commerce will be helping local businesses understand the impact of the UK Government's upcoming Budget with a special session at the start of next month. 

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves will outline the UK Government's tax and spending plans for the year ahead on October 30.

Shortly after the budget is announced, on November 4, Inverclyde Chamber of Commerce will be holding an 'essential business planning' event at West College Scotland's Finnart Street campus to help firms prepare for the changes outlined in the budget. 

Chamber chiefs say the event will offer expert insights and practical advice to help local companies navigate the evolving economic landscape and identify new opportunities.

Guest speakers will be on hand to breakdown the key takeaways from the budget and there will also be an opportunity for attendees to network.

The event will take place from 9am to 10:30am.
