Influence Your Local Business Climate
We are the independent voice for business in Cumbria. We petition government and local authorities on our membership's behalf on the issues which most affect or impede the development of business.
We also have partner relationships with the local enterprise agencies, and have a memorandum of understanding with the regional development agency, which gives us a unique position in representing business interests in Cumbria.
We organise affinity groups, events and seminars to encourage communication between the key strategists and influencers in the region and the business community.
