“This House believes growing companies best thrive on public markets.”
The Government and the City recognise the need for more economic growth and that means more growing companies. But where will they prosper best? On the public markets, with better governance and visibility, or backed by private capital?
On 7 May 2025, the QCA City Debate will explore both sides of the issue, offer insights into current thinking – and attempt to divine the best way forward. This event, supported by the ICAEW, is open to all.
Barry Gamble, an experienced board adviser and NED, will chair the debate, guiding two teams of debaters as they present their cases for and against the motion. The event will be highly interactive, with votes conducted at both the beginning and end, as well as offering the opportunity for contributions from the floor.
Please join us as we demonstrate the power of collective discourse.
