Campaigns
Vital contributors
Our sector makes a vital contribution to the UK economy, local communities and public life. The campaign aims to set the record straight.
Independent NEDs
Forum members would make ideal NEDs at corporates as this is not only beneficial for them and their firms, but could result in a material boost to UK productivity.
Philanthropy
340,000 individuals with more than £1m of investable wealth give some £1.3bn annually to good causes. Those who are well advised give up to 17 times more.
Productivity
Local leaders from every sector of the UK economy, business schools, professional bodies and Government, working together to help solve the UK's productivity problem
Peer Groups provide powerful exchanges of ideas and initiative all aimed at knowledge sharing and improvement.
