Helm chief executive Andreas Adamides said of the US president's protectionist measures: "This bullish sentiment likely reflects Mr Trump's pro-business policies, which many entrepreneurs believe could provide opportunities for growth."

But he added: "Our members are sharply divided on the broader implications of Trump's presidency."

David Atkinson, of the Agency Space ad agency, said: "Longer term, this is not a good thing.

"But I think the US and UK economy will receive a short-term bump."
