We employ 3,400 people and influence 11,400 jobs in the region. We are the voice of our sector. We speak out, influence and challenge on those issues that impact on the well being of our businesses.

The concept of working with others on big issues is challenging. Issues like marketing, security, anti-social behaviour, litter, transport, car parking, accessibility, bed tax or skills. Each too big to tackle alone. But together a real possibility. We have already had a number of successes and if you are interested in being part of the conversation please contact us.
