The CBI were delighted Lizzy Burden agreed to host our ‘Igniting the UK economy’ panel at our recent General Election Countdown conference in London last month. Her knowledge, experience and easy conversational manner meant she more than ably led the discussion on the panel which featured Shell’s chief economist Mallika Ishwaran, Tim Leunig, director of economics at Public First as well our own chief economist Louise Hellem. We look forward to Lizzy hosting further such events for us in the future.

I was delighted when Lizzy Burden agreed to chair The Productivity Institute’s panel event for the launch of The Productivity Agenda and we were all thoroughly impressed with her on the day. Not only is Lizzy incredibly knowledgeable about the subject matter, but she also possessed an engaging and humorous style that kept the audience captivated throughout the event. Lizzy demonstrated exceptional skill in moderating the discussion among the high-profile panellists, ensuring that all voices were heard and that the conversation flowed seamlessly. Lizzy’s ability to ask insightful questions and steer the conversation towards key areas of interest was truly impressive. Her questions were thought-provoking and insightful, and they always managed to elicit valuable and engaging responses from the panellists. I was particularly impressed with Lizzy’s ability to maintain a lively and engaging atmosphere throughout the event. Her wit and humour kept the audience engaged, and she always managed to find a way to connect with the participants on a personal level. Overall, Lizzy did an outstanding job of chairing the panel event. Her expertise, wit, and engaging style made for an informative and enjoyable experience for all attendees. I highly recommend Lizzy for any event that requires a skilled moderator with a deep understanding of productivity, UK growth, economics and political economy.
