Keir Starmer has already warned that this Budget will be painful, signalling potential impacts on various sectors, including ours***.*** ***We are particularly pleased to have Professor Andrew Angus from Cranfield University joining us for the Members' Forum. Professor Angus brings a wealth of expertise in managerial economics and economic strategy, with a strong focus on clean technology. He has been part of the Economics group at Cranfield, which was previously ranked Number 1 in the world by the Financial Times for teaching economics on MBA programmes. During the afternoon session, Professor Angus will lead a Q&A, offering his analysis and insights based on the live Budget announcements earlier in the day. His expertise will be invaluable in helping our members understand the potential impacts of the Budget on their businesses and the industry at large.*** Following his analysis, there will be an open discussion where you can pose questions to Professor Angus and explore the potential impacts on your business. Key topics likely to be discussed include business taxation, import/export issues, infrastructure projects, energy sector challenges, and the skills gap in engineering. ***Viki Bell, CEA, Director of Operations, said: "Our Members' Forum on Budget Day is an essential opportunity for our members to gain timely and relevant insights. With Professor Andrew Angus offering an up-to-the-minute analysis of the Budget, we're ensuring our members are well-equipped to understand the potential impacts on their businesses. In addition to this critical analysis, the Forum will feature presentations covering market trends, regulatory updates, and the latest technical advancements. This event is designed to provide our members with the knowledge and connections they need to navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead."*** The Forum will also feature presentations from industry experts covering the latest market trends, regulatory updates, and technical advancements. We welcome new members, including Mitsubishi HC Capital UK, Groundhog UK Ltd, Rototilt Ltd, and Siemens Financial Services, who will join us in these discussions. We have scheduled additional breaks throughout the day to allow for more networking. During lunch, you can join our hosts, ABB Harnessflex, on a factory tour, which will give you a closer look at their latest products and technologies. ***CEA members are invited to attend this event for free. Due to the importance of this event, we strongly encourage you to [reserve your spot now](https://thecea.org.uk/members-forum-30-october) to connect with industry leaders and prepare for the challenges ahead.*** ![Angus-Andrew (1)](https://thecea.org.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Angus-Andrew%20(1).jpeg?width=400&height=550&name=Angus-Andrew%20(1).jpeg)   Share: [facebook-f icon ](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/members-forum-budget-analysis-and-insights-with-cranfield-universitys-professor-andrew-angus) [linkedin-in icon ](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/members-forum-budget-analysis-and-insights-with-cranfield-universitys-professor-andrew-angus) [twitter icon ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/members-forum-budget-analysis-and-insights-with-cranfield-universitys-professor-andrew-angus) ## Related posts [![](https://thecea.org.uk/hubfs/Banner%20ads/Cranfield%20banner%20advert.png) ](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/cea-announces-new-partnership-with-cranfield-university-to-support-leadership-and-business-development) #### [CEA announces new partnership with Cranfield University to support leadership and business development](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/cea-announces-new-partnership-with-cranfield-university-to-support-leadership-and-business-development) [![](https://thecea.org.uk/hubfs/DJI_20250922121300_0041_D%20(1).jpg) ](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/plantworx-2025-wraps-up-with-major-deals-and-positive-exhibitor-feedback) [PlantWorx](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/tag/plantworx) #### [PlantWorx 2025 wraps up with major deals and positive exhibitor feedback](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/plantworx-2025-wraps-up-with-major-deals-and-positive-exhibitor-feedback) [![](https://thecea.org.uk/hubfs/Joanna-Oliver-MBE-North-Yorkshire-Mayoral-Candidate-Keane-Duncan-1-scaled-e1713180491531.jpg) ](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/keane-on-construction-duncans-push-to-revitalise-uk-manufacturing) #### [Keane on construction: Duncan’s push to revitalise UK manufacturing](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/keane-on-construction-duncans-push-to-revitalise-uk-manufacturing) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Louise Carney", "url" : "https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/author/louise-carney" }, "dateModified" : "2024-09-09T14:58:52.113Z", "datePublished" : "2024-09-05T11:03:50.000Z", "headline" : "Members' Forum: budget analysis and insights with Cranfield University’s Professor Andrew Angus", "image" : [ "https://thecea.org.uk/hubfs/Angus-Andrew%20(1).jpeg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/members-forum-budget-analysis-and-insights-with-cranfield-universitys-professor-andrew-angus", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://thecea.org.uk/hubfs/Logos/CEA_Master_Roundel+Title_TwoCol.png" }, "name" : "Construction Equipment Association" } } ```
