In October 2024, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey visited Doncaster to engage directly with the local business community.
Hosted by Doncaster Chamber at the newly inaugurated HEX Connect conference centre within Yorkshire Wildlife Park, the exclusive breakfast event brought together over 100 delegates, including entrepreneurs, SME owners, and major employers.
Governor Bailey shared insights on the national economy and monetary policy, and actively listened to attendees' experiences regarding local and international trading conditions.
This event, organised by Doncaster Chamber, underscored the importance of incorporating regional business perspectives into national economic discussions. It also marked the first official use of the HEX Connect venue.
