Barratt CEO named on PM’s 2024 Business Council

The Prime Minister has launched this year’s Business Council, with David Thomas, CEO of Barratt Developments, named as one of the members.
The council will meet regularly with the Prime Minister to share intelligence directly from the shop floor to help boost the UK economy and create jobs, with the first meeting set to take place next month.
David Thomas will join the council alongside chief executives from BT, Nationwide, Unilever, Scottish Power and more from a wide range of industries.
The firms account for over 200,000 employees from across the UK and this year’s Business Council will build on the economic success of 2023.
Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, said: “Coming from a small business family, I know how integral business is to communities and the wider economy. Without the jobs, growth, and innovation created by UK firms, the country simply wouldn’t function. That’s why I’m getting businesses in for a regular update on how well we are doing in delivering for business – straight from the shop floor.”
The minister for enterprise, markets & small business, Kevin Hollinrake, and the PM’s special advisor on business & investment, Franck Petitgas, will also host quarterly meetings in Downing Street with small business representative groups to ensure the government hears from a broad range of SMEs, in addition to those that sit on the council.
David Thomas, CEO of Barratt Developments, said: “I welcome the chance to join the Prime Minister’s 2024 Business Council, the opportunity to share the challenges faced by all housebuilders and discuss solutions for a vital sector which provides the new sustainable homes the country needs and is a powerful driver of economic growth across the UK.”
