A Business-Driven Agenda

Leading the Forum is a business-led Management Group, which represents a cross-section of the business community.  The Management Group advises on key issues, acts as a voice for the wider Forum, and provides a link to the Council and a wide network of local partners and contacts from the public, private, third and community sectors.

A number of Sub Groups focus on particular topics – Strategic Direction, PR & Communications, and Events.

• Strategic Direction – looking at longer term strategic issues, such as inward investment, North Eastern Local Enterprise Partnership, Transport and infrastructure planning etc.

• PR & Communications – Links with other business groups, promoting business success, inclusivity, website and other forms of communication

• Events – Business Forum & local business events, networking opportunities, training events & seminars
