A top business adviser to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has turned his attention to tackling Britain’s inactivity problem as the government looks to encourage economic growth ahead the election due next year.

Franck Petitgas, a former Morgan Stanley executive who joined Sunak’s team in April, met with the recruitment and payroll business Employment Hero last week to consult its executives on how to push more Britons back into work.
