The Chancellor delivers the Autumn Budget 2026 on Wednesday 28 October. Within minutes the headlines will be everywhere, and so will the opinions. What’s much harder to find is a calm, plain-English view of what it actually means for your business, your tax and your family’s finances.
That’s exactly what we’ll be doing two days later, live on Optimum: LIVE.
Join us live on Friday 30 October at 11am
Our Accounts Director, Michael Blaken, joins host Chris Dawes of Visual PR Productions for a live broadcast on our YouTube channel, Facebook page and LinkedIn page.
By Friday, the small print will have had time to land, so we can move past the headlines and focus on what matters to the people we work with every day: owner-managed businesses, company directors, employers, landlords and individuals across Swindon, Cheltenham, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
What we’ll cover
– The key Autumn Budget 2026 announcements, explained in plain English
– What they mean for business owners, employers and individuals
– What has changed, what hasn’t, and what’s just noise
– When any changes come into effect
– The questions worth asking your accountant now
Bring your questions

The full broadcast will stay on our YouTube channel to watch back, and it will be available as a podcast on Spotify shortly afterwards.
