Winchester City Council joins Business South in the Year of the Champion
Winchester City Council is the latest local city council to join the Business South Champions programme. In the last decade the programme has grown to 200 members. The role of Champions is to promote the area, demonstrate the importance of their sectors, provide thought leadership, influence policies and investment decisions and deliver on a range of projects.
Councillor Rob Humby, Portfolio Holder for Business Partnerships, is pleased to be part of Business South, stating:
Winchester City Council is working with businesses to make sure our local economy continues to thrive and grow. Being a Business South Champion enables us to forge better links with major organisations within the district, and share best practice across the region. It opens up opportunities to showcase all that Winchester has to offer as a hub for local and regional business activity.
Leigh-Sara Timberlake, Champion Director at Business South said:
We are delighted to welcome Winchester City Council as our newest Business South Champion. The influence of Business South is made possible due to the high calibre of our Champions, including local government organisations who work to help grow our local economy. It is the collaboration between them that has, and will continue to achieve a real difference for our region.
