Press Release

On 26th November, Chancellor Rachel Reeves is set to announce the 2025 Autumn Budget. Following last year’s business setbacks, and with the Chancellor’s pre-Budget speech failing to rule out tax rises, business owners are increasingly worried about what this year’s Budget might bring.

Stepping up to support local businesses navigating the Budget’s impact, Wiltshire-based consultancy Chalkhill Blue is hosting a free in-person event on Thursday, 27th November, from 4pm to 6pm at Royal Wootton Bassett Rugby Club. The Budget Shockwave: How to Protect Your Wealth, Business and Sanity will help cut through the information overload by explaining what the changes outlined in the Budget mean for businesses, personal finances, and most importantly, what to do next.

Taking place the day after the Budget, the event features three seasoned experts specialising in accounting, financial planning, and business strategy. By interpreting the upcoming policy changes, the experts will help businesses adjust their plans, mitigate damage, and find clarity amid the chaos. Guests will hear from:

David Pritchard – Purple Lime Accountancy: Pritchard will cut through the jargon to explain what the Autumn Budget really means for businesses, from tax changes to cashflow and compliance, and will outline smart restructuring moves for 2026.

Sam Binstead – Chilvester Wealth Management: Binstead will showcase how investments, pensions, and personal finances can be protected and repositioned in light of the new Budget, turning potential risks into fresh opportunities.

Chris Spratling – Chalkhill Blue Business Coaching: Spratling will help business leaders turn uncertainty into strategy, focusing on mindset, adaptability, and practical steps to sustain growth and profitability after the Budget.

In uncertain times, support and guidance have never been more essential. This is a must-attend event for SME owners, entrepreneurs, finance and operations directors seeking clarity, confidence, and guidance post-Budget. Attendees will leave this session clearer on their path forward, both personally and professionally.

Businesses that want to take advantage of the free expert advice can reserve their spot now via Eventbrite.
