The Quarterly Economic Survey (QES 2) is Now Live – Share Your Insights

The second Quarterly Economic Survey (QES) of the year is now open, and the Chamber is encouraging businesses across Herefordshire and Worcestershire to take part.

Running from 11 May to 1 June, QES 2 gives businesses the opportunity to share their experiences and outlook as we move further into 2026.

What is the Quarterly Economic Survey?

The Quarterly Economic Survey is one of the UK’s largest and most authoritative independent business surveys. It gathers insight from businesses of all sizes and sectors on key economic indicators such as sales, orders, employment, investment, and business confidence.

The results help to create a clear snapshot of how businesses are performing locally and nationally.

Why Take Part?

The information collected through QES is used by the Chamber to represent the views of local businesses to government, policymakers, and key decision-makers. Your feedback helps to:

  • Highlight challenges facing businesses
  • Influence local and national policy
  • Support evidence-based decision-making
  • Strengthen the collective voice of the business community

Every response counts and contributes to shaping future support for businesses.

Have Your Say

With economic conditions continuing to evolve, it has never been more important for businesses to speak up. Your feedback helps drive meaningful change and ensures the support available reflects real-world needs.

As a thank you for taking part, all completed responses will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Amazon voucher.
