Notts and Derbys Mission
To be the leading proactive lobbying organisation in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire working on behalf of small businesses. |
The regional and branch committee members work hard to achieve the Mission, but cannot do it without the support of other Members in all areas. If you would like to help, even if it is just by completing a short quarterly survey on how your business is developing (or coping), please contact Jan Stanley (details at bottom of page)
Other ways you could help could include:
-
Writing to your MP on key issues affecting businesses in your area.
-
Attending meetings with public sector authorities who have the power and budgets to affect the locl economic climate in which we operate.
-
Providing case studies or quaotations for press articles.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Also check out the regional events page for news of informative, social and networking events for the next few months.
