EXPERTS will gather in Glasgow in March to scrutinise the big announcements in the UK Government’s 2020 Budget and how it will affect people and businesses across Scotland.
The Herald Budget Breakfast Briefing takes place the morning after Chancellor Sajid Javid unveils the UK’s first post-Brexit Budget to the House of Commons on March 11.
It will be the Government’s first Budget since the Conservative Party won a majority in the December General Election, and
the first after the UK
has begun the formal process of leaving the European Union, which starts tonight.
The Herald event, which takes place at 200 SVS in the city on Thursday, March 12, is supported by Brown Shipley, Campbell Dallas, and Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP.
Chaired by Iain Macwhirter, political commentator of The Herald, the briefing will hear from a panel of experts including Fraser Campbell, partner of Campbell Dallas,
Roger Clark, head of wealth management at Brown Shipley, and Grant Johnston,
partner and head of wealth planning at Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP.
Mr Johnston said:
“The breakfast will be a fantastic opportunity to analyse the various elements of the Budget with people from a
range of different business backgrounds.
“Pensions and tax are sure to be featured heavily, and as a solicitor these aspects will be of particular interest to me. Whatever the focus of this year’s Budget, it’s sure to stimulate some lively conversation and debate.”
The event will take place from 8am and 10.30am.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
