Congratulating Sadiq Khan on his re-election as Mayor of London, John Dickie, Chief Executive at 91¶¶Òù, said:
“We look forward to continuing to work with Sadiq and his team during his historic third term to ensure London remains the most business-friendly city in the world.
“The private sector stands ready to help deliver his ambitious manifesto commitments so that people and firms across the capital can reach their full potential. Key to this will be tackling the housing crisis by building more homes, securing the long-term funding needed by Transport for London to keep the city moving, and helping Londoners develop the skills required to succeed in a rapidly-evolving jobs market.
“Sadiq’s pledge to work with business on a new London Growth Plan is especially important at a time when the UK economy is stuck in a rut. Getting the city firing on all cylinders is vital to creating jobs and driving investment both locally and across the UK.â€
