John McCabe, Chief Executive, North East England Chamber of Commerce:
“We would like to congratulate Rishi Sunak on becoming the UK’s new Prime Minister.
“We now urgently need to see stability returned to government and markets.
“It is crucial that Mr Sunak and his ministerial team listen to business concerns in the North East, and that his appointment marks the start of real action to deal with the significant economic pressures facing businesses and households in the region.
“Investment in the North East remains vitally important and there must be a renewed emphasis on greater devolution for the region and Levelling Up.
“We invite Mr Sunak to work with us and our members on seizing the opportunities for growth and tackling the difficulties we face as a region.”
