Business groups

Our Business Groups are the ‘engine-room’ – experts in their field who advise on business and economic growth decisions – to help Gloucestershire improve skills, innovation, and reach its economic potential.

Working alongside The Growth Hub Gloucestershire, schools and a wider network of stakeholders, our business voice is louder than ever – informing local and national strategies as well as using their expertise and experience to identify the skills and employment opportunities needed to future-proof Gloucestershire’s business workforce.
