We’re pleased to be co-hosting RSM’s Annual Breakfast Seminar with SFE, featuring RSM UK Economist, Tom Pugh.

Following the success of last year’s event, this seminar will provide timely insights into the current state and outlook of the UK economy, with a particular focus on the implications for UK and Scottish businesses as we head into 2026.

Tom will share his expert perspective on economic trends, including inflation, growth, and policy developments, before opening the floor for an interactive Q&A session.
