Business West’s 2024 AGM: A focus on our region

In the last year, Business West has been working hard to move from its previous shareholder model to being owned by its members. We were able to fully transition to this member-owned model in 2023, and one of our first actions was to schedule an AGM to start a direct dialogue with our new shareholders, the members of the Business West network of regional chambers of commerce. The meeting, held at historic cultural venue Watershed in Bristol, was marked by insightful discussions, reflections on past achievements, and a forward-looking vision for the future.
