Whilst the Prime Minister is taking his annual summer holiday, Nick Clegg the deputy PM will be heading to Bristol this weekend in order to meet local people, an event hosted by Heart FM. The event is to be held at a secret location, with 300 people in attendance.

Clegg last came to Bristol when the three party leaders of the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrats came head to head for the second televised election debate. At the time, we did not know that we were heading towards a coalition government and two of the three leaders would unite to run the country.

Whilst the event is still very much a secret, the Deputy PM is likely to receive a range of questions from the 300 strong audience.

With out doubt a variety of topics will be discussed and debated, including the budget and economy. Post budget, Clegg now speaks strongly and passionately that this is very much a “Coalition” and not a Conservative budget. Some may say that it may create a “double dip” in terms of the recession; they say they had no choice to take action in this way.

We have seen a turn in the Bristol and the South-West market in terms of a renewed confidence in hiring and the number of clients opening their doors to us. That said, we have not seen the uplift as quickly as we would have liked and we are still preparing ourselves to see how the rest of 2010 evolves. It will be interesting to see if anyone poses questions to Clegg in terms of any trends within employment and hiring.

His visit brings excitement to the Bristol community as we see the return of the UK Government to the West Country.
