Member and stakeholder testimonials

BusinessLDN speaks for London businesses and that means the government hears what London businesses have to say.

BusinessLDN is a key stakeholder on our London Partnership Board, Anchor Institutions Network, Business Forum and other bodies where we consider how best to support London business. Their work leading London’s Local Skills Improvement Plan over the last year has been especially valuable, as is their support making the business case for the London Living Wage.

I endorse the asks of the government made by BusinessLDN in their business plan, including securing a long-term sustainable funding for TfL. We will continue to work closely with BusinessLDN to ensure London’s economy supports the whole of the UK.

Sir Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London

BusinessLDN is a highly valued ally to Transport for London, and we have greatly welcomed their support and commitment to working with us, particularly throughout the pandemic and London’s subsequent recovery. We have also greatly benefited from their wealth of business, industry and infrastructure expertise, which has been vital to our planning and futureproofing of London’s transport network.

We look forward to continuing our collaborative partnership with BusinessLDN, working together to ensure the transport network delivers against the priorities of London, its business community and all those who work in and commute to London.

Andy Lord, London’s Transport Commissioner, TfL

BusinessLDN is an effective voice amongst UK policy makers, ensuring they understand what is required to support business investment in London and nationally. In our sector of property, their work on planning reform and housing has been an important contribution, helping shape policies affecting our business.

Helen Gordon, Chief Executive Officer, Grainger PLC

BusinessLDN are a powerful and highly effective voice for business in London. They have a first-rate track record in making important things happen. More than that, they have a remarkable member empathy and absolutely hit that elusive sweet-spot of being big enough to have meaningful impact but small enough to listen and respond to individual members and their needs. We find our membership invaluable.
