Goldman Sachs to host Badenoch for City charm offensive

Kemi Badenoch will step up her business charm offensive after the Budget with a roundtable hosted by Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs, City AM can reveal. The Tory leader will co-host a lunch for founders, investors and chief executives from across the UK alongside Goldman Sachs International’s chief executive, Anthony Gutman, City AM understands. The event will take place at Goldman’s City office on 5 November, just one week after Labour Chancellor John Healey delivers his Autumn Budget. In an invitation from Gutman, guests were told the lunch would be an opportunity to engage with Badenoch “on the political and business environment in the UK”. The event is expected to give Badenoch a platform to pitch her “vision for the future” after what is expected to be a bruising Budget for business. Kemi Badenoch has ramped up her City pitch.
