Business Partnership Alliance (BPA) is delighted to announce the launch of our 2025 Business Confidence Index research. This annual survey is a vital tool for capturing the views and experiences of businesses in the Borough. Your participation is not only valued, it is essential. The insights you provide directly inform our strategic engagement with stakeholders and government departments at local, regional & national levels, enabling the BPA to represent the interests of local businesses with authority and credibility.
The impact of your input is tangible. Last year’s survey results enabled us to lobby Dept. for Infrastructure to revisit the potential extension of the trainline from Portadown to Armagh. This is now back on the table for review. Similarly, your responses highlighted the shortage of suitable business premises, prompting us to press Council and Invest NI to accelerate the expansion of Industrial Zones and to support the regeneration of disused high street properties.
By taking part in the research, you ensure that your business’s voice shapes the BPA’s advocacy priorities and strengthens our ability to influence decision-makers on issues that matter most to you. You will also be entered into a competition to win a Business Skills Audit with an experienced Business Development Executive from Southern Regional College to help take your business to the next level. This Audit will review your business training needs and help identify a range of course options and funded supports available (T&Cs apply).
Your participation truly makes a difference, click here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/BPABCI2025WA to help continue to deliver for local businesses by completing the short 5 minute survey today.
