With less than three months to go until a one-day summit challenging SME leaders to realise their potential returns to Belfast, business activity across Northern Ireland has been confirmed to be on the rise.
With inflation coming under control and consumer confidence beginning to rise, Ulster Bank’s latest PMI Growth Tracker shows the expansion of business activity in Northern Ireland’s private sector is now the strongest of all UK regions and nations.
While the report notes the strongest growth was in the manufacturing and services sectors, the ScaleX™ Summit will aim to inspire SME leaders across all industries to capitalise on our growing private sector and elevate their business.
The brainchild of Simple Scaling co-founders, Brendan McGurgan and Claire Colvin, the ScaleX™ Summit will take place at ICC Belfast on Wednesday, November 13 and is set to attract over 900 businesspeople from across the UK and Ireland.

Brendan McGurgan, Director and Co-Founder of Simple Scaling said: “With just three months to go I cannot wait for this year’s summit, it promises to be an unforgettable event.
“It is truly an honour to be able to welcome this line up of world-class, visionary speakers to Belfast.
“This summit offers ambitious leaders the chance to hear from, and connect with, some of the most innovative minds in the industry.
“As Ulster Bank’s PMI Growth Tracker shows, the time is right for business leaders in Northern Ireland to take the simple steps required to scale their business.
“It will not be an easy journey, simple means uncomplicated and there is no doubt scaling requires effort but the ScaleX™ Summit is the perfect platform from which to take the first meaningful step on the road to scaling successfully.”
Claire Colvin, Director and Co-Founder of Simple Scaling added: “We can’t wait to return to ICC Belfast for the ScaleX™ Summit in November and help great people do great things with their businesses.
“This isn’t about discovering powerful leaders, it’s about helping people in leadership positions discover the power of their own voice and make the mindset shift required to successfully scale your business.”
