Politics has always influenced the business world and in the current climate it has more resonance than ever before.
We are hugely enthusiastic about the Business & Politics events. They promise to create a forum for lively debate which has been long overdue. The meeting of leaders from a variety of backgrounds for lively discussion and comment, flavoured with humour perfectly fits our thinking.

Business & Politics is a series of quarterly events taking place in Leicester, sponsored by Vantis and Harvey Ingram and supported by the IOD.
The events offer an informed, friendly, but irreverent and entertaining take on the latest news and views from current affairs discussed by a panel of acknowledged experts, high profile opinion formers and the audience who will have a chance to express their opinions with the panel.
In short, Business & Politics is a more local and relevant version of Question Time mixed with a little Have I got news for you.
There will be a panel of regular hosts and team leaders including:
- Michael Cockerell the BBC's top policitcal reporter
- Iain Dale one of Britain's top political commentators
- John Willman the former Business Editor of the Financial Times
