BusinessLDN represents more than 175 of London’s leading employers, who work with us to make sure London remains the best city in the world in which to do business, working with and for the whole UK.
We harness the power of our members, from sectors that span the economy, to shape the future of the capital so Londoners thrive and businesses prosper. Becoming a member of BusinessLDN helps to keep London and the UK working — for business, for Londoners, for the whole country.
We create opportunities for our members, from sharing insights to providing platforms, from making introductions to finding new talent. We facilitate collective, organisational, and individual ambition.
Our corporate members are the backbone of our organisation. They inform our projects, join our working groups, host events, speak on BusinessLDN platforms, create content with us and have access to our full events programme. They benefit from our networks, contacts and insights, and contribute their own through reports, blogs, podcasts and more. We work with each member to understand their priorities and to create a dedicated engagement plan that means they will get the most out of their BusinessLDN membership. Together, we champion London as city that works for business, for Londoners and for the whole UK.
Our partners are just that – they work with us to champion London, with a clear stake in our mission and a commitment to the capital to match. Partners shape our work plan; they deliver strategic projects with us; they have first refusal on hosting, speaking and sponsoring our significant events programme, on joining us for stakeholder meetings, on media opportunities, on access to our communications channels. As well as more time with a dedicated account manager, each partner has a dedicated Leadership Team sponsor who also knows their priorities and understands their business, helping to plug them into all the right things. Together, we are a powerful combination.
