If you’ve been following the headlines, you’ll know this year’s UK budget landed with a mix of big promises, long lead times and more than a few raised eyebrows.
So Sarah Watson – our Finance Director and resident decoder of all things policy – sat down with Alex, Head of Sales, to talk about what’s really going on behind the announcements. And the conversation? Surprisingly grounded. Surprisingly human. And full of the stuff leaders are thinking about but don’t often say out loud.
And here’s the good bit. This isn’t another dry run-through of tax changes.
This chat kicks off a new episode of Roffey Insight, where we unpack the shifts shaping work, leadership and organisational life in real time.
- How the move to a single minimum wage band could reshape entry-level work
- Why long implementation dates are causing organisations to pause, stall and second-guess
- What E-invoicing and tech mandates really mean for future-ready teams
- How skills, apprenticeships and AI are rewriting the learning landscape
- And why compassionate leadership and resilience matter more than ever in a year of change fatigue
It’s a conversation about budgets, yes – but really, it’s about people, decisions and the hidden currents shaping the year ahead.
