Our organisation has evolved to meet the needs of our members. We have taken on greater responsibilities through our lobbying, business support services, promotion of the area and work to shape the area through investment.
Beyond our operational delivery, we have championed our members’ interests and made real headway on the issues affecting their businesses and properties.The wider structure within which we operate has changed, pushing us to deliver new services to our members and a new way of working with our delivery partners.
