This tragic incident has caused our organisation great concern and distress and we want to express our wholehearted support and unity for the people of Manchester and the UK as a whole.
Such cowardly and inhumane attacks will never be tolerated, nor will any extremist ideology of any kind accepted in our great nation.
The UKBCCI stands firmly shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the UK with our hearts with those affected by the attack and our minds never giving in to terrorism.
Manchester and its brave people will continue living their lives as normal and we will not be defeated.
