Big thank you to business leaders who joined me this aft at the Darlington Economic Campus to talk all things financial services in the North East. Lots of focus on critical importance of local skills to growth.

And thank you also to the @hmtreasury team for the warm welcome!

27 years ago, @BlackRock chose Edinburgh as the location for their first international office.

And this year the company opened their new #Edinburgh office, an investment which will create 400 new high-skill jobs.

Grateful to Sandy, Scott & the team for the invitation to visit!

Today, we remember all those killed in the appalling attacks by Hamas terrorists on October 7.
We stand unequivocally with the Jewish community against hate and in the hope of the return of all of the hostages held in Gaza, and for a just and lasting peace.

The investment demonstrates the strength of Britain’s thriving financial services sector & our global leadership in asset management. #hmtreasury

Mid sized firms are just 0.5% of all companies but deliver nearly a third of the country’s economic value. This Gov't is keen to help them thrive
