Upcoming Events
We run a programme of exciting and diverse events where our members can meet policy makers, discuss policy and network with other business leaders and entrepreneurs.
“The Business Network offers a great opportunity to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, executives and professionals from a wide range of industries and professions. We regularly gather to explore key business challenges and policy ideas with Lib Dem MPs, Peers, and influential speakers. With the changing landscape, the Liberal Democrats are increasingly positioned as the natural party for business.”
